Default Fill-in forms using Word Tables

I am using a word table as the framework for my fill-in form. There are a number of table lines and currently each of them have a text form fill-in that the I have limited to a certain number of characters to prevent the text from wrapping and disturbing the look of the table. However, a) the user has to tab to the next line and b) the lines end of being different lengths. Can I make the text flow from one fill-in text form to the next? (Like I see you can do with text boxes) Or, is there another way of accomplishing this altogether? Thanks!

Hi BigJspice,

No, you can't make the content of one formfield flow on to another. If you need multiple lines, why not simply merge the cells concerned (I gather they're one under the other) and use a single formfield for the merged cells.

I suppose I could do that, yes. Was looking for a formatting line under each line of text, just for the look of it, but you're right, I don't necessarily need that. Thanks for you help!
