Default how to create form others can type and not move data

Put your data fields in fixed-size table cells or frames. What you are
talking about is what Word calls an "online form." For more about online
forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm.

Hope this helps,

I need to create forms for staff to use - but when they enter data all
fields
move - how do I create form so they can use it and type on lines that stay
in
place?
