How do I freeze the text after a fill in space

[Guest]

When creating a form, and the fill in space, when text is entered into the
fill in space the text on the same line shifts. I don't want the fill in text
to effect the rest of the text on the form.

Put the field in a borderless table cell and fix the size of that table cell
so that it doesn't grow with the text.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm.

You need to put your formfield in a container, either a fixed-size table
cell or a frame.

Hope this helps,
