It is better to start a new thread for a new question rather than hijack
another similar thread. In this case, put your form fields into (borderless) table cells of fixed dimensions and then the content cannot move the rest of the text. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Louise wrote: Hi all I have created a form and have entered all the necessary text fields and protected the form. The actual fields work fine, however, when users enter details into the fields, it 'pushes' any other text and fields on the same line across the screen. How do I prevent this from happening? Thank you. Louise |

Hi all
I have created a form and have entered all the necessary text fields and protected the form. The actual fields work fine, however, when users enter details into the fields, it 'pushes' any other text and fields on the same line across the screen. How do I prevent this from happening? Thank you. Louise |
