Lock Table but not text
I have tables that includes form fields. I notice when entering information,
the table size increases causing the number of pages of my document to increase. i dont want the table to increase in size, just the form fields. i would like to enter text into the form fields, have those form fields increase in size with options i've set and the table to not move. i must add that each form field is in a table which is also inside a table, if that helps. is there a way to set the whole table so that it wont increase or do i have to change the whole table along with each individual table inside that table. this is the last thing i have to correct and i'll be done with this form. please help! |

Lock Table but not text
Hi ?B?Y3luam9yMzEy?=,
You need to explain something to me: how should the form fields' sizes be allowed to increase, but not the table size? When a form field grows, the thing containing it must also grow in order to display the content? Generally, we set the row height and column widths to "exact" measurements if we need to maintain page layout in a form. If the form field continues to grow beyond those dimensions, the extra text will disappear "behind" the cell border. I have tables that includes form fields. I notice when entering information, the table size increases causing the number of pages of my document to increase. i dont want the table to increase in size, just the form fields. i would like to enter text into the form fields, have those form fields increase in size with options i've set and the table to not move. i must add that each form field is in a table which is also inside a table, if that helps. is there a way to set the whole table so that it wont increase or do i have to change the whole table along with each individual table inside that table.
