Removing GridLines and Expanding Bookmarks
Clicking anywhere in the form field should select the entire field.

Jay,
Again thank you for the ideas. Essientially what I want is if the user
clicks anywere inside of this form field, their cursor will snap to the
upper
left hand corner where they can begin typeing. Adding the spaces the way
you
described will open up the clickable area, but when you input text the
text
will begin typing where you have clicked, and this can result in the
pushing
of the table borders. Perhaps a macro would resolve this? If so, where
would
I begin with that?

You're adding the spaces in the wrong place. Select the form field and
double-click it or use the Properties button on the forms toolbar to
open the Properties dialog. Type the nonbreaking spaces
(Ctrl+Shift+spacebar) into the Default Text box in the dialog.
The bookmark really doesn't have anything to do with the way the form
field displays or operates. It serves more as a name for the field
when you want to manipulate it in a macro.

Thank you so much for the help.
the first works great. however if i go to Toolsoptionsdisplay
bookmarks,
then add spaces inside of the bookmark the bookmark expands. When I
then
click the protect document button the bookmark snaps back to is small
original size. Any more ideas?
Thanks again,

Hello,
Two questions.
1.As far as I can tell the only way to remove gridlines is to go to
table
Hide gridlines. This has to be set by the indvidual user. Is there
any way
for the "Hide Gridlines" option to be set by default when the .dot
file
opens?
2. Right now my form field bookmarks are really small. So a user
can tab
through the form field bookmarks and enter information, but if they
do not
click in the exact location of the bookmark the field will not
become
selected. Is there a way to expand the form field bookmark brackets
so the
user has more space to click in while selecting a form field?
Thanks for all the help.
