I am building a form and using tables and have formatted the reply tables to
show only the bottom of the cell as an underline. When I reach the end of the
first row, can the text drop down to the second row? Is that what the drop
down tool is for? For printing purposes, I must maintain the response fields
as being underlined and so, when I reach the end of the first line, the text
either stops because I fixed the cell or row width, or the cell expands to
accept a second line, but then I lose the lines. Does this make sense? So all
I want to know is when I reach the end of a one row table can the the text
continue at the beginning of row two or another table built directly
underneath?

The only way to get text to flow from one cell to another is to insert
Textboxes into the cells and then link them by using the Textbox Toolbar.

And text boxes are not compatible with text form fields, I believe.
