I have a form used for OCRing that has 2 text boxes on it. If data is added
to the first text box and it raps around to a second line, it drops the
second text box down a line. The scanner then mis-reads the next text box.
Is there a way to force the second text box to stay put?

Thanks

you mean, for printing out, beeing filled out, then scanned in again, right?

You need to place all form fields into table cells (setup a large table
for the whole form or a logical part of it), and format the table rows
to have a fixed height.
