Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ box help please

[7788]

Thank you for your help. I needed to make an empty box for my consent form.

I have used:

\begin{table}[htdp]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lp{12cm}c}
1. & I confirm that I have read and understand the Participant Information Sheet dated 16th May 2009 for the above named study. I have had the opportunity to consider the information, ask questions and have had these answered satisfactorily. & \framebox[1.2cm]{\rule{0pt}{8pt}} \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

Thank you. 7788

At the moment I can't figure out what you are after. Perhaps you can explain the following.

[…] When I used the symbol command, the boxes are simply too small. […]

Which symbol command do you mean and what is the result?

[…] I made a blank box using \framebox and \fbox but I don't know how to increase the vertical height of the box. […]

You can use an invisible strut to determine the height of such a box.

Code: Select all

\framebox[7cm]{\rule{0pt}{20pt}}

Note that the size of the box is actually bigger because there is the length \fboxsep added.

Thank you so much for your reply. Sorry I didn't describe it properly. This is what I did last night:

I understand that the data collected during the study will not have my name on it and only those members of the study team named on the information sheet, who need to see it, in order to complete the study, will be allowed to see it. \framebox[3cm][l]{}

I understand that the data relating to me will be kept confidential. No information will be released or printed that would identify me unless required by law. \fbox{}

Would it be easier for me to make this consent form by using tabular and then I put this \framebox[2cm]{\rule{0pt}{20pt}} in a separate column?

Thank you so much again. 7788

hi, I hope this is the right place to post this. Thank you very much.

I managed to make the consent form, with the boxes using \framebox in a table.

\begin{table}[htdp]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lp{12cm}c}
1. & I confirm that I have read and understand the Participant Information Sheet dated 16th May 2009 for the above named study. I have had the opportunity to consider the information, ask questions and have had these answered satisfactorily. & \framebox[1.2cm]{\rule{0pt}{8pt}} \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

Thanks again. 7788
