    I have been doing all of my forms in Acrobat. I never even thought about setting forms up in Adobe InDesign. This will save hours. Thanks

    Hi this is great but I can't seem to make it work for this scenario: I have one large text box of content flowing over several pages. They are a series of questions, and the user needs to write quite a bit of content into a Text Field. Do I insert RETURNS within the large text box and then enter the Text FIELD into that space and anchor the text FIELD to the QUESTION text? I can't seem to figure this out. I drew a TEXT FIELD and then anchored it to the TEXT BOX. Then, I experimented by adding more text above the TEXT FIELD and it 'skipped over' the TEXT FIELD and moved to the next page. I hope I'm explaining this correctly. :). Can you help? (Excellent tutorial by the way!!)
    Note: I thought a work around would be to make each QUESTION its own text box but that would take so much time. I thought this solution would be quicker, especially since I will be using this document as a template and changing it. (It's basically a long Survey form). THANKS so much!

    Awesome, Chad! I'm not doing forms, but I'm trying to anchor a horizontal rule so that it moves when the textbox above it changes. Your technique worked, specifically my setup was: @@ Anchored Obj Reference Point: bottom left, X Relative to: Anchor Marker -- #TechGotchas: It did not work until I changed the `Y Relative to` to "Column Edge".

    Im trying to do something that should be very simple but it doesn't seem possible. I want to link two form fields together so that when someone types in one box and overflows the text, the text will continue into the next form field text box. Again its really easy to do normally, but it seems all formatting gets removed as soon as you make the box selection into a "Text field button". Any idea how to link the text field buttons so they flow text into eachother?

    The new text field needs to be renamed, right?

    Dear friend, maybe you can help me, so far none of the youtubers specialized in Adobe Indesign could not answer my problem. I have an image and I want my "text to be on it", but anchored to this text. How should I do it?
