I downloaded forms online and wanted to unlock the forms to combine them all together. However, the spacing or field formatting changed after unlocking the forms:

 

This is the form field that I'm trying to edit:

 

 

This is how the form field in the locked version behaves. Even if I backspace all the text, the indent and paragraph spacing above doesn't change:

 

 

This is the unlocked version. I'm trying to get the text to start after "Other (specify):"

 

 

Does anyone know how to go about changing the form field text properties so that it can be formatted the same as the locked version?

 

I know that you can enable Rich Text Formatting and add the indentation and paragraph spacing, however it reverts back to default when backspaced, which does not happen on the locked version.

How did you "unlock" it, exactly?
