can't format document using form fields.
How can I get form fields to format properly in a letter?
I made a document using drop down form fields. I want the finished document to appear as regular formatting, but I can't get the form fields to split their contents. If a form field contains text that will not completely fit on a particular line, the entire text in that form field is put on the next line, creating large blank spaces on the right hand margin. How can I get the contents of a single form field to be split at the regular right tab margin? |

can't format document using form fields.
I don't believe it's possible as long as it remains a form field. Once a
form has been completed, you can convert form fields into regular text by selecting them and pressing Ctrl+Shift+F9; they will then wrap. So, this is something you'd want to do only after its need to be a form has passed. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "Perry" wrote in message ...
