Formatting woes Debbiedo <deb_dolittle[ at ]yahoo.com> 6/5/2007 7:48:22 PM I need to use both frames and tables in my Word (2003) document form. It will be a protected document. My frames are really giving me a headache. They do not line up well on my document, especially when tables are immediately above and or below them. And forget having two frames side by side. It is a logistical nightmare. (I do need both as I am using frames to mimic radio buttons, of which there are several sets.) The tables are needed to enter additional data entry that require expandsion on occasion. The frames need to look like they are part of the table, even though they are not (because of VB programming constraints in tables) Is there a secret to getting frames and tables to co-exist in formatting harmony in Word? Thank for any advice. Debbie
