I would like to create a contract so that when I open the document it will take me to a page of presets to fill in. Once I am finished with filling in the presets, it will open the contract with everything filled out. Example

Date
Client name
Address
phone
email

etc.

I have created form fields in my contract but when I fill out those form fields it begin to move everything in the line the forward. How do I lock the text in place further down the line?

Do I need to create columns so that the text added in one column does not effect the form and text in the same line?

Hi Todd,

You can put the formfields concerned into table cells with fixed row heights. That will prevent the layout changing - just be sure to allow enough space for the fields to wrap, if need be. If you fix the cells' width as well as the height, anything extra a user might type into the field will be stored, but not displayed. You can also limit the # characters that can be typed into a field.
