How do I lock the position of"Title",when a fill-in field follows

[Melissa]

I have created a form. In it I have Name and Title headers, which are then
followed by fill-in fields. If you type in the first field, it moves the
"Title" to the right. I want to lock the position of each. There isn't any
room to put the Title under the Name. So how do I do that?

Thanks so much - I hadn't thought of it. That worked. Now, to follow up on
turning off the auto resize. I found it under table but don't see how to
turn it off. I tried clicking the fixed column width and that worked, but if
I type a long title, the cell (row height) adjusts itself and throws off the
alignment of the rest of the form. So how do you actually turn that off?
Thanks again for your help. Oh, the version is Microsoft Professional
Edition 2003. Take care.

You can prevent the cell from expanding downward by going to Table > Table
Properties > Row and setting the measurement to "Exactly" the height you
want.

This may not be a good idea, though. When you do that, you can still type a
long title in the cell, but the end of it will simply disappear, cut off by
the unmoving bottom edge of the cell. The better idea is to reduce the font
size to make the long title fit within the vertical space you want.
