I have several official forms with lines that I've converted to word
documents. I'm not permitted to alter any detail of the form. One formcontains a table that is 2 columns and 20-30 rows. It's basically a page of lined paper. It works just fine with one major flaw: The user has to hit tab at the end of each row (twice) in order to get to the next row. Tables are not designed to wrap, and if I set the parameters of the cells to wrap, they will increase the height of the cell (not alowed) and continue putting text in a single cell. I've attempted 3 solutions: 1 eliminate the lines. since it's not a hand-written form any more, the lines are redundant --Administrators didn't allow this. 2. Using drawing tools, place "lines" at regular intervals on one big cell --this causes some vertical alignment nightmares between the text and the lines, and redraws very slow. 3. Put size-limited text fields in each cell that force users to tab when they reach the end of a row. -- not very elegant I just want to be able to have word-wrap bounce me from row to row in the second column.. anyone have any other ideas on this? pardon my misnomers, Jabberwocky |
