How to fill in a form without the rest of the form moving down?
I have a form where narrative needs to be included. I only want a specific
amount of space for the narrative and I want tbe text to wrap around. Following the narrative are more check box questions etc. (on the same page). When filling out the narrative, how can I keep the rest of the form from moving down? Perplexed!! |

The usual technique for forms is to put text box form fields in (borderless)
table cells, setting an exact row height and preferred column width (and disabling auto resizing). -- Suzanne S.

The best way is to insert a 1 column 1row table into the document where you
want the text. Set the table so that it will not "grow" by choosing the number of inches of the row as "Exactly", not "at Least" in the row tab of the tables property dialog box. Then insert a text field into the table, and limit it to an estimated number of characters to be used in the field. Good Luck. "Merny" wrote: I have a form where narrative needs to be included.
