Locking text in place - Note: NOT protecting a document! 1

OK, I have a form in which a user fills out text form fields. How do I make it so that when the form field goes on to the next line it doesn't shift the rest of the page down a line?

Protecting the document doesn't seem to make a difference here. Is there some way of locking text in place?

Thanks

Andy
 
Put the form field(s) into table rows--even a one-column, one-row table if necessary. Remove the borders on the table, and format the row height to EXACTLY the height you want to allow. This way, they can type all day if they want, but once the text goes beyond the row height, their text will *disappear*. Anne Troy
 
First class! I would never have thought of doing that without your help, thank you so much!
