I can imagine!!  You have no idea how relieved I am that I was just not too
dumb to find it!

It's not a matter of having to copy/paste a lot of material.  It's just
that if I want to reposition a paragraph or sentence, I have to backspace
or delete the whole text out and then retype it where it belongs.  As you
could see, it is a fact-reporting form, and sometimes I forget to add
things in the correct sequence.  

I know I'm ouchy about it, as I'm too used to the "reveal codes" in Word
Perfect, and have no intention of spending months learning to use Word in
my daily life.  I had to learn WP in order to type legal briefs (part of my
daily life).  But, our volunteer office refuses to learn to convert from
WP.  I've been struggling all afternoon, trying to figure out if there was
some other way to gather this information using Word.

Is the problem the use of tables?  I've printed off your instructions on
creating simple forms.  In that, you suggest using tables.  

I really do appreciate all your effort.
