    Another really great video, thank-you so much!!! I'm trying to create a fillable form using one big table where each row as a different number of columns and different column widths. I tried making separate tables for each row, but can't seem to slide them together neatly. Because I have a lot of material to get onto one page, I can't put spaces between each of the rows, so I either need to be able to slide all the tables together, or I need to vary the column numbers on each row by by merging or splitting, and vary the width by highlighting two cells at a time and sliding the boundary line. I've been making this work, but I run into trouble tabbing through and in setting cell boundaries. I dont' know if I've written this so it makes sense, but I'm hoping you'll understand what I'm trying to say. Can you send me in any particular direction?

    Thank you so much for your information. You are great. I've created term report forms for students which will be used by the teachers at my school. The teachers like to paste reward stickers on their students' reports. Is there a method i can use to get the teachers to do this without me allowing them to put the form in unprotected mode?

    Hi Angela! Thank you for your kind words! Here is a video that might help you out. This shows how you can create sections around a part of your document that can stay unprotected while the other parts of the document that have form fields can be "restricted" to filling in forms.

    Hi Isaac! Great question! Here is a video I did on Content Control form fields (the newer available fields in Word): kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJOCy8GfmpCXZZs.html I tend to use Legacy Tool form fields as I find they are more versatile (you can use them to create calculating form fields, limit the number of characters in a response, etc.) and also I have found them easier to format for user input than content control form fields. Hope this helps! Thanks so much for watching my videos!

    Hi Mabel! Thanks so much for watching my videos! I would suggest adjusting your margins on your page layout to allow for more space. Also, if your are using legacy tools you can consider limiting the number of characters in your fields (if that is appropriate for your form). You can also make the font a bit smaller on your form. These are a few things to try to prevent the form from creating a new page. I hope this helps! Thanks again for watching!
