How do I set up a fill-in form to allow edits of a portion?

[Sonja Holmes]

I need to create a medical form that will allow checkboxes and drop downs.
It will also include a photograph of a skeleton that the doctor wants to be
able to draw a line to and insert text over certain parts of the diagram.
How can I develop the form so that it allows you to insert text over the
diagram?

Ok, now my issue is that this document has two columns and when I insert a
continuous section break it moves the information above it to the new column.
The section break creates only one column. I need for the information to
remain in column one. How do I do this?

Hi Sonja,

I don't think that's possible.
