Customize DCR forms

I am using Teamsite 5.5.2 on windows. I'm trying to find a way to customize the dcr forms. Is there a way to modify the styesheet that renders the form? If not I'd like to at least add spaces to make the form a little more user-friendly.

There is no supported way to do this in 5.5.2. People have done this to a certain extent with hacks.
In 6.1 you can use stylesheets to control DCT to a certain extent.
Search the forums. Read the documentation.

Add spaces where on the DCT ?

Thanks for your reply and your time. I'd like to space things out a bit in the DCT. I don't know what everyone else's experience is like but some of our users are accustomed to using nicely laid out html forms. When they go into Teamsite the look is very different.

That dosen't provide any more information than your previous post.
If you can be a bit more specific, perhas with with and example of your DCT and/or a screenshot of what you expect maybe somebody can give you some suggestions.

You know I was wondering if that post was specific enough. Thanks for replying. To be more specific I attempted to add a line space in my datacapture.cfg file by doing the following:

<item name='Blank'>
<label><br/><br/></label>
</item>

I almost get the line space I want but it says (No value was entered.)

I've attached a screen capture. Hope this is clearer. Thanks in advance.
