filling out a form in a Word document

[id48fan]

How do I create a form in a Word document so that the fields can be filled
out without moving the text after the field?

 

[Charles Kenyon]

Put the form field in a table cell with fixed size or in a frame.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at

Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,
