Default How do I set field length in template/form regardless of data siz.

I am trying to create a form. When I type in data, like co.name, the data
moves.
I just want to set a specific field length for the answer to type in. If
co. name is 3 letters or 20 I still want the field to stay the same length.

How do I do that?

Insert a table, turn off its borders (Ctrl+Alt+U), and put each field in a
separate cell.

And define an exact row height and column width for the cells (turning off
auto resizing).
