fillable field forms

[zip]

I am trying to create a form, with little success. In specific, the for
requires alot of bordering and segregating of areas. Thus, I used tex
boxes. However, I must also include Form fields to allow user dat
input into specific areas without allowing alteration of the rest o
the document. However, Word will not allow me to place a "Text For
Field" into a text box. So, I have also tried Insert>Field>Documen
Automation>Macrobutton "None ________". But this does not allow inpu
of user data correctly. The document is large, so I would prefer not t
retype all of the data. But, am not sure this would serve my intentio
anyway, since I need the segregation. Additionally, I have tried usin
Frames, but can not get them to stay where I need them. IOW, sometime
they jump to the top of the page. Any help is greatly appreciated

Instead of text boxes or frames, use tables. (a) They will stay put.
(b) You can turn each cell border on/off with Format > Borders and
Shading. (c) You can prevent the fields from expanding vertically by
setting the table's row height to an Exact measurement.

You can set up the entire page as one big table, or set up each group
of fields in a separate table.
