Hi,

I've created a template that has one fairly large area in it that is to be filled with text.
This text varies in amount etc.
No matter what method I have tried thus far, when I type into that area, once you hit "enter" any text below it gets "bumped" out of place.
I need that area to remain static in size so as to not affect the text below it.

Right now it is just wide open space that you can type in but once you reach the end of your line and click "enter" it moves the text below that same amount in the downward direction.

How do I define that area for typing without putting a "box" around or other sort of definition of the space?

Please see the screen shot attached and maybe that will describe what I am trying to accomplish.

Any an all help would be greatly appreciated.

Insert a one cell table.
Right-click on the table and choose Table properties.
Go to the Row tab. Set height to however tall you want the place to be, in inches. Type a 3, for example. Be sure to specify "exactly" instead of "At least".
On the Table tab is the Borders and Shading button. Set borders to None.

Kimberly,
Thanks like two tons. I can't believe I didn't think of this. It seems this would be accomplished in another way as in using a "framed" area for example. At any rate, thanks a lot!

In addition to this, this template I have has fields that were created using the "quick" parts tool. However, if I tab through the template, when it gets to my "Date Picker" and I hit "Tab" it jumps past this cell you taught me how to insert for my text portion and to the next "field".

Is there a way to correct this? If that sounds confusing, let me know and I'll try to better explain.

Thanks
