[Pghs Finest]

To anyone who can help,
I was recently asked to create documents for our unit at work but I
would consider myself pretty new to it. I've started a few but a problem
that I keep running into has me pulling my hair out. I asked a few people
around the office that I considered more proficient with Word but they also
are stumped.
I have a standard Word document that I've included form fields in
various places. The problem that I'm having is, the rest of my text moves as
information is input into the field. At one point, I have a place for a
short narrative but If you input more than a line of text, the rest of my
text that follows is bumped onto a different page line by line. Any way to
keep the original text in the same spot on the document when text is input
into a field? I tried to protect the document but that does not fix it.

I have a standard Word document that I've included form fields in

information is input into the field. At one point, I have a place for a
short narrative but If you input more than a line of text, the rest of my

keep the original text in the same spot on the document when text is input

Put the field into a table cell. And set the cell's height to an "Exact"
setting. If the user types more than the height allows the extra will disappear.
