Restricted permissions settings/Preserving Layout of Form?

[Rijan]

I have created a form in MS Word which contains text boxes to fill in [name
address etc etc].

I then restricted the document to "form filling only" but find that when I
type within one of the text boxes the cell/table margins change as does the
[non-editable] text sections.
Is there any way to limit it to that the actual layout of the form [spacing
between entries etc] cannot be altered or affected by typing?

Thanks

Set the dimensions of the table cells to fixed values.

Be sure to disable Auto Resizing for the table, and then set a preferred
width for each column and an exact height for each row.

Thanks Both.

Okay I will try to do this for the actual cells but how so I ensure that the
non-editable text is bumped along?

Currently:
Name:
Address:

Phone:

End up looking like:
Name:
Address:




Phone:

if people type more than the preferred 2 lines for the address

Be sure to disable Auto Resizing for the table, and then set a preferred
width for each column and an exact height for each row.
