page break to stop text from going onto next page
I am designing a form of several pages that has diagrams and text fields in
certain positions. There is a text field at the bottom of a page. This text field could be 1 line or it could end up being 8 lines (depending how much info the user wants to enter). When I view the blank form, everything is in the right position, but once I test the form by entering text into the text field, each line I enter moves the items on the next page down. This behaviour is no good... because it is pushing my form all out of position!! Is there some kind of break that I can insert so that no matter how much text is entered, the items on the next page remain in position? |

page break to stop text from going onto next page
Text reflows according to the amount of it there is on a page. If there is
too much for the space available, it will push what follows down to the next page. Put your text fields in (unbordered) table cells with fixed dimensions and then if too much text is entered it simply 'disappears'. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Miranda wrote: I am designing a form of several pages that has diagrams and text fields in certain positions.
