I have several official forms with lines that I've converted to word
documents. I'm not permitted to alter any detail of the form. One
formcontains a table that is 2 columns and 20-30 rows. It's basically
a page of lined paper.
It works just fine with one major flaw: The user has to hit tab at the
end of each row (twice) in order to get to the next row. Tables are not
designed to wrap, and if I set the parameters of the cells to wrap,
they will increase the height of the cell (not alowed) and continue
putting text in a single cell.
I've attempted 3 solutions:
1 eliminate the lines. since it's not a hand-written form any more,
the lines are redundant --Administrators didn't allow this.
2. Using drawing tools, place "lines" at regular intervals on one big
cell --this causes some vertical alignment nightmares between the text
and the lines, and redraws very slow.
3. Put size-limited text fields in each cell that force users to tab
when they reach the end of a row. -- not very elegant
I just want to be able to have word-wrap bounce me from row to row in
the second column..
anyone have any other ideas on this?
pardon my misnomers,
