Line in a form keeps shifting
Dear All
In the forms prepared to fill in data, there is a box for filling comments. In this comment box there are lines like this " _______________ ". When I start to type the comments the line " _________ " keeps shifting and when I hit space bar the typed matter gets shifted to top line. What is the back ground for this sort of building the form and how to make this line disappear when I type comments? BR/CAPTGNVR |

Line in a form keeps shifting
Such a form is designed to be filled by hand using a pen.
If you wish it to be filled using the PC, you need to replace the lines with form fields and protect the document for forms. If you need to retain the lines and fill form fields the form field should be placed in a table cell of fixed dimensions and the 'line' is emulated by setting a border to the bottom of the cell. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CAPTGNVR wrote: Dear All In the forms prepared to fill in data, there is a box for filling comments.

DEAR GRAHAM
Thank you for instant response. Making new forms basis your advice and thanks. With regard to the auto text-- well I am still at it. But the macro u sent - i am trying to decipher it and will take time to ustand what each line does. Of cource will not give up but will take it up when time permits me on the ship. brgds/captgnvr "Graham Mayor" wrote: Such a form is designed to be filled by hand using a pen.

Line in a form keeps shifting
DEAR GRAHAM
That is so nice of u. In any case, I am checking line by line what it does and what I want. Just now sort of figuring out excel basic and when I came to word, it is totally different and not familiar with the commands. In the mean time, can I have ur permision to send one form which was made on the ship but I feel not at all user friendly. If I have to spruce it, might take a long time with my novice knowledge. So can u look at it and tell me or sugest better way? brgds/captgnvr "Graham Mayor" wrote: If I get some time to play around with it, I will see if I can simplify the macros. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CAPTGNVR wrote: DEAR GRAHAM Thank you for instant response.
