snap-on grid?

[Jon Westmore]

Hi everyone,

I am (stupidly) trying to line a repeating table control containing
textboxes up with a background (watermark). The watermark is a scanned form
and I'm trying to set it up so that when you insert a section, the next row
of textboxes line up with the next line on the form. My problem is that I
can't seem to get it to line up correctly because of some sort of snap-on
grid. Any way to get around this, I'm looking for an easy way to get text
objects to just float around where I want them to go.

Thanks,
Jon

Not stupid at all. InfoPath doesn't support a snap-to-grid or any other
"position anywhere" feature. It uses layout tables to position elements
around the page. For your case, you'll want to insert a layout table. You
can use the table drawing tool to create a "spacer" cell and put the
repeating table in the cell on the right, or just use the left padding in
the table cell to push your repeating table over.
