creating a form with tables having multiple lines of text
I am trying to create a form that will have several rows and cells.
A simple example: I've created a table with 5 rows. I want a user to be able to continue typing till all info about subject is input. Ex: When user starts typing in Row 1, I want the data to wrap to Row 2, then Row 3, etc. Even if I protect the document, when you type in a row, the table expands. If I designate how many characters can go in a row, the table won't expand, but nothing wraps to the second row. You'd have to jump to the next row with the tab button and then continue typing. Is there a way to make the data wrap from Row 1 to Row 2, etc.? |

You can want it all you like, but Word doesn't work this way. Your only
viable option is to use a single cell with graphic lines; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm -- Suzanne S.
