I am trying to make a document for my work that in essence is a form for
collecting data. As I talk to people on the phone, I fill in their address, phone number, birthdate, etc. The form I have created has all the heading (Name, address, phone number, etc.) laid out with spaces to type in the data. The problem is when I type in the data, all the text to the right shifts to the right and then moves to the next line below. Isn't there a way that I can fill in the answers without the text to the right moving to the right (as long as I don't type in more than the allotted space for the answer). My guess is that the solution is simple. I just don't know what it is. -- Thanks so much for your help, as always. |

Generally, forms makers use tables with fixed column width and row height.
