Hi, I am a newbie also but I have about 200 hours invested into training and developing forms. I have a fundamental problem that I am sure someone knows how to address. My problem is using fields in text boxes. I have a block of text that I need to have user input into a field to complete the statement.
For instance, the text field looks like this:
The meeting of the takes place on at and we would appreciate you joining us for this important meeting.
I leave spaces in the text for the field and then add a field on top the text for the user input and try to align it properly. The alignment takes forever and it is never quite right. I also need to make the user input field big enough to accommodate whatever data is entered and there is excess space when the user enters data that is smaller. There must be a better way of handling this but I haven't figured it out yet. In essence I would want the field data to be fluid and aligned.
I know there must be a better way of doing this and would be grateful for any advice. I have created about 25 forms this way and whilst they work I am not happy with the output.
This is my second request. I did get a response that I could use floating fields but unfortunately this did not resolve my problem. I need the user of the form to see the fields and enter data into the fields in the static text.
If anyone else can answer I would be grateful.
Thank you so much for your consideration!
