Thanks to you both!  I didn't even know that paragraph window existed until now.  Alll I kept seeing in my panel off to the side was the Object and Layout tab.

It seems all my text boxes i have start the text in the center of the box vertically, then spaces it out as you type more.  is there a way to make it start at the top of the box and work down, just as if you were typing in Word or Notepad.  if someone only types a few lines, it looks kinda odd havin...

and thanks for all your help!

These forms did originally start in the old Designer that came with Acrobat 7, so this does do some funky things.  I'm not going to worry about it for now, since I know I'm doing it right.If it happens with new forms created in the new Designer, I'll make another post.

this is what my Hierachy tab looks like, when I grab and drag Comments and try to drop it between OverallRating and Development like shown below, it actually overlays the Comments subform over the Development subform.

Any suggestions as to what to look for specifically?  I'm not allowed to post the document publicly, although that would make things 100 times easier haha.

Actually, I think I was able to rearrange pages by cutting from the <subform> to the first </subform> of the one i wanted to move in the XML view, then pasting that above the <subform> of what is current the page i wanted it before.Does that do it also, or did i just open up a can of worms?

Thanks for the tips.  Still not sure why it didn't work right when they were all not named when the tab order was correctly set, kinda crazy.  Knowing what I know now I would have went about building these a lot differently. Maybe if I get time I'll go back and rebuild them eventually.

Thanks everybody.  I went through and checked the aligning of the hundreds of checkboxes i have.  I also had to end up giving names to some of my pages andsubforms to help fix the issue.  honestly i can't tell what fixed it but i think a combination of all them helped.  maybe it was too confused wit...
