I have a form that I'm designing. It is a lesson plan for teaching. I have a
table laid out and have each form field set (i.e. Date, Grade, etc). I am
trying to make my table as "static" as possible, so that when entries the
table is not resized. I've been doing this by simply setting the cell height
to "exactly" X pt. First question is, is there a better way to fix the size
of a cell, so that when a user is typing in the form it doesn't let them
expand the table size?
The next, more important question is somewhat related. I have a section with
3 columns:
Time | Activity | Assessmen
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (LINE A)
1:30 | Reading | Discussed topic in class
| |
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------(LINE B)
the above is an example of a possible row entry in this section of my form.
I have 10 rows of form entries for the Time, Activity and Assessment, each
getting there own height of 14 pt, and predetermined width. The thing is, the
entry for "Activity" could be more characters then the width of the column,
causing a line break, but it wouldn't show up on the form because the cell
height is fixed. And at the same time, I might not use all 10 rows of the
entry, but the form field description still remains (i.e. "Enter Activity
here"). My question is: The distance between LINE A and LINE B above needs to
remain the same, and the width needs to remain the same, but I want the
"interior" rows to be expandable. The number of entries can also change. So,
is it possible to have a button or macro that creates the row entries one at
a time as the user needs them, that way they could write a few lines if
needed, and not impede on the next field. If that's not possible, is it
possible to have the form field "description"'s that have not been entered on
be removed, either by a macro, or some other setting.
Well, thank you in advance, and if you got this far, thanks for actually
reading the whole thing
