Question need to make a fillable table


I have made it and it looks great but when I go to enter data I have to move my mouse to the click to enter text portion. How can I make it go there when I enter the space before it?

edited to add: I am not sure if I am clear on what I need...example: Name: click to add text Address: Click to add text. when I fill out Name and hit enter or tab I get at the beginning of address instead of click to add text.

Your post is too ambiguous for anyone to understand. Without actually seeing the document, it can be difficult for anyone to provide specific advice. Can you attach the document to a post with some representative data (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.

Your text content controls are of the rich text kind. If you change them to the plain text kind, you can go to the next one by using the tab key.

Personally, too, I'd be inclined to use:
• dropdown content controls with M/F options for 'Sex';
• dropdown content controls with Single (Never Married)/Married/Defacto/Divorced/Widowed options for 'Marital';
• date content controls for the birthdates; and
• dropdown content controls with the appropriate options for 'School', 'Physical Cond' & 'Relation' and, perhaps 'Employer' (depending on what you want there).
Doing so will both expedite the forms completion and ensure consistency of responses.

thank you so much, it worked on the top part but when I went down to the spots that I had to make smaller spaces for it makes them huge again.
