Default Form fields in Word 2000-Windows ME

I've created a simple form, with Text Form Fields (TFF) and Tick boxes -
these have all come out OK. I'm trying to get a TFF for "Name" and a second
smaller TFF for "Ref. No". on a single line. I've tried columns, but that
dosn't seem to help. With a big gap between the "Name" and the TFF, if I try
to squeeze these up the TFF jumps to the left of the "Name" - Any suggestions
please ? I've found that using Print Preview is very useful for adjusting the
size of my fields!

Try putting your fields in a table with fixed size cells.
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.

Hope this helps,
