Default Microsoft Word Forms

I'm trying to create a fill-in form. I put text in fronf of the field, for
example, "Name:" followed by a field where the user can type. But I cannot
place the field closer than .2 inches to the text or Word automatically
places the text behind the field. I can't figure out what is preventing me
from starting the field immediately after the text. Any ideas what limits the
position of these fields on the page?

How are you formatting the text and fields? Most users find that it works
well to put them in table cells, but if you want them to be intermingled in
running text, it should be possible to insert the form fields anywhere.
