How to display fields horizontally in a New or Edit form in a Sharepoint list

Question

I'm build a sharepoint list and a form that will allow me to track projects and spend through the year. I would like to display the monthly spend input fields horizontally (across) rather than vertically. How can this be done?

Answer 1

You could do this in a few different ways:

1) InfoPath - customizing or creating List forms in InfoPath gives you a lot more flexibility than the default SharePoint lists

2) SharePoint Designer - with SharePoint Designer you can edit the default "New" and "Edit" pages.
