creating tables

[Sean]

I currently have a employee daily log on my computer using Corel. I've just
purchased additional computers and want to extend that program to each.
Rather than using corel, Id rather use ms. When I try to create a new one,
using tables...when I try to tab between fields, I get additional
rows/columns. The current log has car number, name, date, mileage, fuel,
shift and activity performed fields. Each of these are listed with a table
next to it. When opened, you start in the blank table, enter text, hit tab,
taking you to the next empty tale and so on and so forth. Anyone have an
idea how this can be completed using ms?????????

When you press Tab in the last cell of a table it inserts a new row.
Based on this, It sounds like you are using multiple tables rather
than a single table.

If you are trying to make the form appear as multiple tables then set
the border style to "None" for those cells/rows you want to 'remove'
from the table.

If you want to add text that wraps between the left and right margin
then merge all of the cells in the row.

You'll find the Borders and Merge commands on the Tables and Borders
toolbar. Right-click any toolbar to turn it on.
