spaces - the text does not wrap to fill in the space used by the field
itself. Any ideas on how to remove the space?

a standard form field into a document it defaults to 5 spaces.
However, if you double click on it, you can change the properties so
that the default value is a single space. Don't change the

Other options include VBA macros which would go through your document
and test to see whether values were in the fields, if not, delete the
fields.

The form fields being used could contain up to 25+ characters when used, when
not used I wrote instructions for the users to press the spacebar. This left
only one space between the words in the paragraph and the field itself.
Thank you for your reply.
