Locking the layout when creating a fillable form in Word 2010

I have created a fillable form using Word 2010s "developer" tab. 

Is there a way to lock the spacing of the forms text so that when I type into a field, it doesn't move the other information around it?

For example:

First Name:  click to add text      Last Name:  click to add text

When I click next to "Fist Name" and type in the name, I want the spacing between "First Name" and "Last Name" to remain the same.  Right now, when I start typing, "Last Name" moves left and then is pushed right as I type.  

Use a table to layout your form.
