Protected text moves when I type into form

J

I have written a form in which I need to put information in the text
fields. I have protected the form, but the protected headings move as
I type the information in. This puts all the in out of sinc. The
headings move off of the line and down the page.
Thanks for any help.

I don't think there is enough info here to understand the problem. It isn't
VBA related so might be better asked in a general Word forum. But, from what
I gather, you are saying headings move as form fields expand, which would
lead me to believe they are in the same line as the headings? Why not move
them? Or try using tabs, which will act as a "cushion". I've had to make a
lot of forms and tabs are essential. You can underline tabs to make
fill-in-the-blank type spaces. Use a large tab, as below, to stop the text to
the right of the field from moving when data is entered into the form field.

You cannot constrain the fields themselves but if you put them in individual
table cells you can fix the size of the table cells so that the rest of the
document is unaffected.
