FORMS / Form Field

When I have two variable, length fill-in-the-blank fields, how do I keep the
line from returning to the next - jumping down a "carriage return"
so-to-speak. The total characters isn't greater than the length of the
overall line, yet the first field - if the character string is long enough,
causes the second form field to move down to the next line, disrupting the
format. Is this possible.

TIA

Hi, Axel,

There are two possibilities.

One is to place the form fields into cells in a table, and set the
table's row heights to Exact measurements. This doesn't prevent the
user from putting a paragraph mark in the field, but when the cursor
disappears and they don't see the characters they're typing, they
usually get the idea. <g>

The other is to add macros to the template to change the function of
the Enter key so it does the same as the Tab key. See
