Re: Tab order and adding a field to your form

Thanks for your response.

I did insert a "Name" field. I still can't get the form to tab in order and
I followed your instructions carefully.

Additionally, the top part of the form is in 10 point font, but the bottom
part is smaller and no matter what I do, I can't change the font.

Is there a free form out there from Microsoft that would help? I looked at
mycontactform.com, but don't want popup ads and the limits they place on
responses.

It just seems that Microsoft or a clever designer could have a template for
this.

Thank you.

Select any text box or form control in the Response Form, and look at the
bottom of the form. You will see a Grouping icon that looks like two boxes
overlapping. Click on the icon and Ungroup all the elements of the
response form and you will be able to customize the form layout and add as
many form controls as you need. Go to Insert > Text box, and Insert > Text
area.

One of the things I noticed when I was working through your issue was that
I could not reset the tab order until I ungrouped the response form. Then
I noticed that the Comments text box was not grouped with the text area
below it, while every other text box and form control were grouped
together. (For example, click on the Address text box and you will see it
is grouped with the text area beside it.) So click on the Comments text
box, hold down the shift key and click on the text area below, and then
with both elements selected, click the grouping icon to group them
together. Group the new Name text box and text area if you insert them.

Now you can reset the tab order by selecting the form controls one by one
and Arrange > Order > Bring to Front. The tab order will be reset in the
order that you select the form controls. You can regroup all the elements
of the Response Form after you are done if you want.

I have Publisher 2007.

1. I inserted a Response Form. There is no place for the person's name,
but all the other contact info has fields. There's no room to add a
name.
I've looked for other customizable forms on the website and can't find
them.
Ideas? If not, I can go to mycontactform.com, listed in one of the
earlier
responses.

2. The fields do not tab in order. I found your instructions to use the
Arrange feature, but the order has not changed after trying multiple
times.
Is there a different technique for 2007's version?

Thanks.
