Word Form with fields

[dglienna]

I need to make a form with fields that a user can fill in. I am having a problem, as the field size is changing when I try to enter data into it, even when I locked changes to the template.

Is there a simple way to do this, or should I be looking at using something else, like a VB program with a RTB? This would be like the first line. When I type in the name, the date moves to the right.

Name _____________ Date __________

Now, using tables, but it still seems like the hard way. Any hints?
