Hi,

The form was developed in Word 2003.
I'm guessing that the issue may have something to do with the fact that, in many cases, the text for several fields is located on one line separated by tabs, and the edit fields themselves are on the following line, again separated by tabs.

Thanks.

Courtney

What version of Word is the person using? Depending on the version, their options change slightly.
