I am trying to complete an Job Vacancy Application Form in Microsoft Word 97 - 2003.


The document is Password protected and there is Restricted Editing on it but as soon as you start typing/completing boxes on the form when using the return button to start another line in a box this causes the box to move downwards which causes
'The Full Work History' box created with a table making lines drop into the next page. And so on and so on.



I know what to do but because the form has Restricted Editing on I am unable to sort the problem out.


Am I being thick?

I would sincerely appreciate any help that you can give on the challenge that I am having thank you.

No, you are not being thick. That is how the form is designed. Likely, only someone with the password can fix it.

Are you typing in Content Controls or simply in an area marked for you to type? If hte latter, you can check the paragraph formatting of the problem area. Is it set to "keep with next" and/or "keep lines together?" If so, try unchecking those.

Given it's "an Job Vacancy Application Form in Microsoft Word 97 - 2003", it won't have content controls. Rather, it will have formfields and that, in turn, means you can't change the formatting. Most likely, the formfield(s) you're having problems with was/were not designed with paragraph breaks in mind. Try using line breaks (Shift-Enter) instead.

Hi Charles

Thank you for your reply unfortunately due to the 'Restricted Editing' everything is 'greyed' out except the 'Paste' option and 'View' options.

I have actually contacted the Employer to let them know but wonder if I will actually hear anything.

Thank you again.
