    As an alternative to that, you can also copy and paste the text from your Microsoft Word document into your form. Let me show you how:

    • In Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.
    • In the Form Elements window that opens up, click on the Basic tab.
    • Scroll down the list and click on Paragraph to add a Paragraph field to your form.
    • Now, copy and paste the text from your Microsoft Word document into the Paragraph field.
    • That's it. Just click on Submit and you're done.
