text form field does not shrink

[Guest]

I'm making a word copy of a hand filled document.

1. I can't find a way to get an underlined text form field that doesn't
shrink down to one space when you start typing information. How do you do it?

2. I can't find a way to get a single table cell to line up with paragraph
text. Example - "I need ___ apples for tomorrow."

don't link the underline to the form field. Draw it using the Drawing tools. Or
place the form field in a TABLE, using a bottom border on the cell for the line.

2. I can't find a way to get a single table cell to line up with paragraph
text. Example - "I need ___ apples for tomorrow."

Line up in what way? horinzontally? vertically? Why not put all the text in a
table (three cells, for your example)? Then set the cell PADDING so that the
spacing is correct.
