I would like to know how to keep a word document from changing when I try to
fill in information on the lines I created.
The document changes spacing and adds more lines as I type on my lines.
I would like to be able to use the doc I created to fill in information and
hit the "tab" key to go to the next line of my form.
Any help or direction would great.

Office Word 2003.

Thanks for taking time to read this,
John

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,
