I am now trying to develop a new task form following the instructions from
the url:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...CL100626971033.
I cannot get the process to work as the tutorial shows. The default page
does not allow changes as shown in the tutorial. I can go to page 2 and
bring fields in, publish the form. I have gone into the form I created and
set it to use my form as defualt. When I open the form I created the default
task screen shows on top and my input form shows page 2 as a tab.
I guess I need to get a definition of what multi line view means/does what
where? I was thinking of how text can wrap in Excel.
