Filling Out Forms
Julie Adams 11/17/2008 4:01:02 PM
I have created a document that has form fields within. How do I prevent the
pages from moving when a person is filling out the form. I know you can
limit the form fields, however, I also want to keep the information on the
initial pages and not move to the next.

The best solution is to layout the form in a table (with hidden borders).
Test each form field is able to accept all the characters you assign it
without 'overflowing' the allocated space by entering an upper case M (the
widest character) or number 8 (for number fields). You don't have to use a
table, but I find it makes it just a little easier.

You will of course have to fix the height and width of the table cells.
