Locking the Text form box in a form

[Amanda Lanesey]

I have created a form in word using Text boxes for my Sales Reps to fill in online. The question that I have is when I go to test the form, It takes the text but moved the next text box, (like when you hit tab...). I set the Max. characters that I wanted entered and it still moves the boxes along the paragraph. Does anybody know how to Lock these in place??

Many Thank

Hi Amanda Lanesey

If you want the FormFields in a fixed position insert them in a table.
