Form Fields

[Eric]

I have a user who is trying to set up a Word document with
form fields for other people to fill out. For example,
she has a field of limited character length for a person's
name. She has her page laid out so it looks fine, until
the fields are actually filled. When you enter anything
into one of the field, the overall page layout goes
screwy -- mostly, fields that were on the same line when
blank, suddenly appear on separate lines. Any
suggestions? Would it be easier to set things up with
tables rather than form fields?

Hi Eric,

Have her set the formfields up in a table with fixed cell dimensions
