Expandible text fields WITHIN a text box??

[joflo723]

I have finally nailed down how to create expandible fields in my form. It sounds like most of the time, people use them in the form of expandible text boxes that move anything below them down. There is usually nothing to the right or left of these expandible fields. Livecycle does a great job in these layouts. However, I've run into a challenge....

Let's say I have a block of text and I want to have expandible text fields inside that text. For example:

In this text box I want to have a blank space where the user can type

into this text field ________ and the paragraph will accomodate what

he/she types into it. All of the text to the right of the blank space would

need to shift to the right AND would need to wrap onto the lines below it.

Is this something that LiveCycle ES can do?

Thanks for any assistance with this.

Sounds like you like to have editable floating fields in a text.

This is possible, John Brinkman shows how, but it isn't a trivial thing.

Check out his great sample.

Well, that is exactly what I need it to do! I'll really have to think hard to figure out the design...pretty advanced. But thank you!!!
