Dividing single word page onto some section?
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.
- Create a Form Using Word Content Controls by Greg Maxey
- 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.
- Thank you. What I'm doing here is just doing this
I want to create a legal paper, which will contain identity in the first part like
Name : Casper
DOB : 01/01/2001
Place of Origin : New York
this one, side-to side, and already solved previously by Stefan_Blom, so the first issue is tackled already
the second part, regarding what's the letter for, is just usual text, so, there's not any problem here
the third part is the one get the problem now, it's the signature part.
The format is somewhat like this
(Name 1 title) (Name 2 title)
(Space for signature)
(Name 1) (Name 2)
Nah, making the table for this part is the current unsolved problems. It's not side-to-side like the first, it's top to bottom.
Enlarge the table will enlarge both (Name 1 title - Name 2 title and Name 1 - Name 2) which result in one of those 2 :
1. There's unnecessary space below the name 1 - name 2, because both table are enlarged now
2. There's no space below the name 1 - name 2, but instead, name 1-name 2 stay upwards, leaving no space for signature
(please refer to the screenshot I provided before)
It seems that your links are a huge tutorial, but mostly, it's about automation in form-fillings rather than designed for empty form that will be handwritten later.
- The sample started out in GoogleDocs and downloaded as Word, which does not bode well. GoogleDocs may have modified it and .doc files are far less capable and more prone to corruption than are .docx files. I'm looking at it now and trying to figure out what it is you need to do.
- Okay, I would prefer it to stay as a Word document. Where can I upload, so I can post here as word documents, not as Google Docs? the original sample from my computer is in docs
