Form Fields

[Guest]

I have a form set up with several fill-in fields. Two of the fields need to
have multiple lines. All of the fields are on top of a scanned document. The
form is protected. When the user types in more than one line, any fields
below the one being typed into move down the page. I need to have all the
fields remain where I've put them regardless of how many lines of text are
typred in. Does anybody know how to do this?

Create a table, making the cells match the lines of the scanned
document (the table-drawing tool is good for this). Set the rows of
the table to exact heights and turn off the table autoformatting. Use
Format > Borders to turn off the table's borders. Put each form field
in a separate cell.
