Currently this form has no protections. Anytime someone uses it, formatting gets thrown off.
I am having trouble figuring out how to keep formatting for the "Details:" section of the form.

Originally the person who created the form put "Details:" in the table.
A text box was placed over the table. Entry began tabbed in.
Depending on where the person starts typing it throws off formatting. Sometimes if the tabbed space is deleted.
I tried formatting everything inside the text box. Formatting that keeps it aligned is font: Arial, size: 11 with 1.04 spacing.
If the user doesn't begin filling out the form in a specific spot, it defaults to 1.10 spacing and everything shifts.
Without the textbox, it will resize the box.

The only thing I could think of was to move the text box off the first line. I might just be overthinking this.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a better way where once full it would go to the next cell/line.

I have a script for breaking up long text into cells, but that takes one chunk of text and breaks it up by number of characters.
If the user had to go back and edit something, there would be data loss as it would overwrite what's already there.

When I moved the text box:
