Default Data entry into a form field

I have users in the warehouse that are accustomed to hitting the enter key
after they input information into a field. I need to design a form that they
input information into but the formatting and print layout of the form need
to be preserved even if they hit the enter key after inputting the data in
the field. Right now, if they hit the enter key it adds a line and destroys
the formatting and print layout.
What can I do to solve this problem?

You can try using a macro that reassigns the Enter key:

Alternatively, you can put each field in a separate cell of a table that's
formatted with a fixed cell width and row height.
