Is it possible to place a text field within a paragraph of instructions? Specifically, I'd like to recreate this in Appian: 

It would look something like this ideally:

  

That image is edited in a photo editor to display my intentions. I understand I could maybe concoct a sideBySide layout to get something close, but it might have formatting issues with different screen sizes. Does anybody have any idea what I can do to achieve this?

    You can use a combination of richTextDisplayField and textField to achieve this. Adding a textField in paragraphField in not possible. 
    With the suggested approach, you will have to define the exact place where this textField should appear and it will not be able to adjust the position when the screen size changes.

      I've gotten something to look pretty good with these components, using a!isPageWidth with some logic also will help prevent any unsightly formatting issues with different screen sizes.

      Yes. But remember, these function can help you when the screen is being opened on different devices between Laptop, Tablet or Mobile. 

      But if someone uses a narrow or ultra wide monitor, or as a matter of fact, even if someone changed the browser window size, then you'll not be able to identify.
