    How can I fix my question fields so they don't wrap and go further across page?

    Just click on the form, then on the top toolbar you will see the option to change the width of your field.

    Other way to achieve it is opening the Designer, you will find it on the top toolbar.

    Then, click on the field and change the width as shown on the image below:

    Thank you, but I am referring to the question portion (on the left below), not the field where the answer goes.

    Inject this CSS code, it will add an space between the labels and the fields:

    .form-label-left {

        padding-right: 20px;

    }

    I put in the code you sent, but it didn't move much, if at all. How do I make something like this question be on one line, instead of 3?How do I change size of the question labels? Image 1 Screenshot 20

    .form-label-left {

        padding-right: 40px;

    }

    You can test using this code instead, remove the one provided above and paste this, if it does not separate the fields and labels the sufficient space, then you can increase  the highlighted value.

    Now, in regards to display the text only in one line, I see that you have already added custom CSS codes on your form, this is the one that is displayed the labels as they are currently:

    .form-label-left {

        width: 150px !important;

    }

    You should remove it and the labels will be displayed in a single line.

    Here's a guide on on how to delete or edit that CSS.

    1. Click the "Preferences" button in the top toolbar.

    2. Go to "Form Styles" tab.

    3. Double click on the "Inject Custom CSS" value in order to edit it.

    You may consider changing a 'Label Alignment' from 'Left' to 'Top' in order to have them in single lines.

    Alternately, you will need to adjust a 'Label Width' parameter in order to increase the width for the left aligned labels.
