    I will upload three different pictures.

    1. The first pic I am trying to make two columns. See pic 1
    2. The second pic, I am trying to make two columns and the lines single-spaced. See pic 2
    3. The same with the 3rd pic. Formatting

    If anyone of this includes having to enter code, I will need help. No idea how to do that.

    Hi Scott,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can achieve this by shrinking the fields. Shrinking form fields and reordering them is super easy to do. Let me show you how:

    • Click on the Gear icon on the right side of the field you want to shrink.
    • Under the Advanced tab, toggle Shrink to the On position, or right-click on the field and click on Shrink or Unshrink.
    • Once you shrink them, you can just drag and drop them to where you want them to be.

    Unfortunately, it seems that the screenshot you have attached for the other pictures was not uploaded. Can you please try and send it to us again? This guide will show you how to do that.

    Reach out again if you need any more help.

    For picture 3, Do you mean that you want to create like 3 column structure and want to move the Player representative field in third column? Can you explain a bit more about the issue so I can get a better idea of what's happening?

    The line spacing didn't change.

    I would like the contact name, email box, and Player Rep box all in the same line. Right now email is not under contact name and same with player rep.

    Also, how do I make Friends and Family and Extra Bases on the same line as in two columns?

    How do I move the Browse files box to the center?

    Hi Scott,

    Thanks for patiently waiting. You can arrange the mentioned three fields to a single line by adjusting the fields one after another and then set the width to fit them in the form. Let me show you how:

    • In the Form Builder, click the Gear icon available with the desired field.
    • In the opened window on the right, go to the Options tab.
    • Set the width from the Width section.
    • Do repeat the above steps for other fields as well.
