I have a form where I enter client info. I do it on my computer, not
hardcopy. I want the fields to stay in a fixed position and not move over
when I enter data.
For example:
NAME DATE

I want to fill in the name without the word "DATE" moving over.

I'm using WORD 2003

HELP, please!

Insert a table, and insert one field or one label in each cell. Use
the Ctrl+Alt+U shortcut to turn off the table's borders if desired.

I thought of that but I wondered if there was another way. I'm going to do
the table as you suggested. Thanks.

Click anywhere in table Go to Table
Table Properties
Options (at bottom)
UNCHECK "Automatically resize contents"
Is this what you are after?
