- With our field list in hand we can now begin…to create our layout tables to hold…all of these fields within the form.…We use tables for several reasons.…First, the table borders are going to provide…nice lines for our form and if a user…wants to print out a form and have…somebody write or type on it, they can.…If you've ever tried to complete a form…that says, for example, first name…and then there's a line and when…you begin to type the line moves…that's because this form was created…using a line, an underscore character…so that character and the characters…in my name can't exist in the same space.…
However, when we use a table and…turn on the borders to create these lines…we're not going to have this problem,…we'll have lines that people can actually type on…when the form's open electronically.…Even though I could create just one table for…the form given the number of fields that we have,…I'm going to create four, and the reason that…I'm going to create four is that allows me…to group my data together, it allows me…
