Dividing single word page onto some section?
The link to your sample document can't be opened. It generates an error. To share a document successfully, make sure that it can be downloaded by anyone who has the link.
I do get some clues from your image. The "resize square" indicates that you are dealing with a Word table. If you click inside the table, you can use the (Table) Layout contextual tab on the far right of the ribbon and choose to show the gridlines. Displaying nonprinting marks will also help you identify the table, because each cell will be terminated with an end-of-cell marker (¤) . You can use the ¶ icon on the Home tab to show/hide nonprinting marks.
Hello. I apologize for the delayed response. My computer experienced some issues, but I have just finished having it repaired.
Thank you! You nail it! It actually table without border, I'm completely deceived. Now I do know how do I make a form without manually adjust the tab and the space!
However, now I do have a problem with the 3rd part. At the sample document, whenever I resize it, the text ((………………………….) will move towards the bottom / upwards,
while when I create it myself, only the table getting bigger. the (………………………….) is stays at the same location
What I've done wrong / missing here?
Anyway, sorry ! I just edit the links!
It is difficult to tell from the screen shot what is going on.
Could you post a new link to the sample document?
- Alright, this is the sample document which I want to imitate it

The resize square is for a table. I enabled View Gridlines on the Table Layout tab. That makes them easier to spot in a document. I also have non-printing characters enabled.
I see you are using blank or empty paragraphs for spacing. This is a bad habit. See 2.2 Why you should press Enter only once to end a paragraphThe third section is also a table.
Tables are very handy for organizing text on a page. As you can see, they need not be visible as tables.
4. Use Tables and Tabs to Arrange Text in Microsoft Word
Here is a link to my page on Making Forms with Microsoft Word
Note that if this is to be filled in as a Word document, rather than a printed paper document, you should be using Content Controls for places to type.

- Repeating Data Using Document Property Content Controls and Other Mapped Content Controls
If your version of Word does not allow Content Controls, consider at least using MacroButton Fields.
