text moves outside of locked form fields

[shahn70]

I created and saved a form using text form fields. When I reopen the
document/form and start to type in the fields, the text outside the fields
continue to move. How do I stop it from moving when I am typing in locked
text form fields?

When you're setting up the form, create one or more tables and insert the
text and form fields into its cells. Click Table > AutoFormat > Fixed Column
Width to prevent sideways expansion. If you also need to prevent downward
expansion, click Table > Table Properties > Row and set an "Exactly"
measurement for the row height.
