Hi!  I'm converting a Word document into a form that will eventually be
a PDF form that can be filled in using Adobe Reader.   I'm doing this in
LibreOffice Writer 4.2.3.3 on Ubuntu Linux 14.04.  

My first pass worked splendidly well and everything worked fine except
for two issues:

 1. I can't seem to control the font used in the form controls, namely
    the text boxes
 2. I can't get the text boxes to align text at the top (despite my
    setting the form control to align text at the top)

Does anyone reading this list have much experience with creating forms
in Writer?   With regard to issue #2, when I enter text into a text box,
it's vertically centered vs being aligned along the top of the text
box.  This is when I view the generated PDF file in Ubuntu's PDF
document viewer, the text I typed wasn't aligned at the top of the text
box.  I'm not sure if this is an Ubuntu document view issue or an issue
with the generated PDF file.  I'll test in Adobe Reader later.

With regard to issue #1, is there any way to control the font used for
the text boxes in a form?

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance!

Peace...

Tom
