Default locking a form doesn´t work

I have created a model form with some text form fields. I can lock the form
but when I test it EVERYTHING moves. This should not happen I presume?! How
can I make a real locked form? I´m using word 2000 prof.

Put the text form fields inside table cells with fixed dimensions in
order to prevent document contents from moving around.

For more about forms, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm, especially the
links to the series of articles by Dian Chapman.

First follow the link that Stefan has given you. It answers your specific
question but I suspect you need more. 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,
