Default Fillin Fields Word 2003

Hi All,

I have various tables in a word document, and I have a textbox on top of one
of the cells to keep the size of the box / cell the same. (unless you guys
know how to lock the size of a cell in the table then this is my
alternative). I have successfully created the FILLIN fields for most/all
cells and in the textbox. However the textbox fields are prompted after all
the others in the tables, and I want them to come in earlier in order of
apperance if that makes sense.

In other words I just would like to know if there is a way to change the
order the user is prompted for fields and why is the order so mucked up ? It
worked fine before then I started again and it just does not work..

Help..

Cheers
Kingsley

You can specify an exact height for a table row and a preferred width for
the column. You'll also need to disable table auto resizing. This works best
in a protected form, where even inadvertent changes are not possible, but it
may be all you need to keep your cell the desired size.
