help with a word doc

at work we use a work order, i made it to a word doc but the lines move around when filling in the work order. See attached Anything I can do? thanks

You'd be better off creating a form with fill in the blank macros. There's a wizard to help you do it.

Then you can make check boxes or limit input to number only, etc. That's really the way to go. Then you can also make it read only and keep people from screwing up the original document.

Can you create in Excel? That will allow you to type in the fields w/o things shifting...

the best way to do it would be to use Acrobat, and make an online form. which can then be printed complete.
Failing that as Dave said a macro would be the next way i would do it.

Yeah. Switch to WordPerfect.
The only reason so many people use MS Word, a mediocre product at best, is because Bill Gates has stuck it up everyone's ass.

OK, that wasn't too helpful, but I got the rant in.

Excel or Adobe Acrobat are probably the ways I'd go. Just consider whether you want the filled-in document to be fill-in only (or read-only) or savable.
