Is there a way to put text in the form footer? I would like to add a message below the submit button "This information will not be shared, sold, held against you, etc".

Using the new form builder.

Alter the html by adding a div with your text in it then assign a class to it so it matches the rest of your form.

My method depends on whether I am using VSD or the HTML editor. In VSD I position the form and place text around obviously choosing the font. Sometimes requires a couple of previews to align things just so.

In the Editor I love using Position Absolute statements. I Know it crams the page but gives precise positioning.
For text I use this, from the snippets I have added

Then for an element like a radio button



Getting coordinates is easy. There are a number of programs that give screen coordinates. Load a preview, position cursor save co ordinates return to html and insert. I use this for any object or elements. Forms,Images, Inserted php return values. Every object is exactly where I put it within a pixel.

I love CC's editor the best on the planet, with a bit of help from yours truely
