Forcing a field to have equal returns to another

Hello everyone,

Can anyone help me with an annoying layout problem please?

My solution includes an auditing layout with a number of printed questions (of varying length) in a "shrink to fit on printing" field (A) on the left with a corresponding empty box for ticks on the right (???.

Is there any way I can get the empty field (: for the ticks to correspond in length when printed to the field containing data (A) without the user having to manually enter carriage returns in (B) to match the number of lines entered in the first field (A)?

Many thanks for your help
