Form Fields in a Table

[Erika]

I am creating a new template and I have some form fields that are in a table
they are City, State Zip - - these form fields are in the same cell in my
word table.

When users enter that information the font is fine for city and then
completely different for state and zip. Why is this happening and how to do
I correct it?

With you template unprotected, select each of those formfields and apply the
desired font formatting to them. Then reprotect and save the template.

This did not help, it seems that the issue is that the fields are in a table.

See if this article helps:

Incorrect font is applied after a style is applied to a form field in Word

That still did not help, the difference is my fields are inside a table -
everything works great until the fields are in a table. Then if I have 3
fields in the same cell in a table it gets messy!

I suspect that the font settings for the table style is the culprit then.

Does it help if you apply a style, formatted the way you want it, to the
cell contents?
