How do I prevent words from repositioning within a form field? I can adjust the height of the form field and the results ported in can be way low as seen in the pic or be high, anywhere but alingned with hard coded text.

Move the actual field itself, instead of changing its size.

As wild as I sounds I can reposition the entire field, aligning the text along the bottom and it still will not appear correctly. I want to know how to make this word static so it will not move. I chase this thing back and forth 50 times repositioning the field or resizing and no matter how I line it up next to the hard coded text, it will not stay.

Use the Add Text tool instead of a form field.

This form field loads a response depending upon different brand settings.

You can try using the exact same font set and size, not the same named font but the exact same font set. Turn off the snap to grid option.

Note the form fields are not on the same layer and many items including text are computed images and there can be rounding errors in ploting the location and image of the displayed text.

Snap to grid has been off and I use the same font set. Seems like there would be a way to position a form field, preview what it should look like by inputting text in the Properties Option tab, Default value box, place the form field exactly where it should be and at form render the contents of the form field be where the preview displayed. Instead the application provides me with rounding errors and location plotting errors every single time I place a form field. Amazing.
