Default Change size of form fields

Hi

I created a document for people to fill in & thought it would be easier to add form fields so they are restricted in what they can enter
However, whilst it was all beautifully laid out, on 1 page, as soon as I added some form fields, the formatting all went to pot & it's now on 2 pages.
Is there a way to restrict the size of the form fields so that it stays on one page?
Ta

First, unless you have a very good reason, use Content Controls rather than legacy formfields.

You can put your Content Controls in a Table (even a single-cell borderless table).
Content Controls were introduced in 2006 to replace legacy formfields.

You can use the Group Content Control to limit editing.
You can use the Editing Restriction of No Changes, with exceptions, if you want something stronger.
