Default Lines that can be written upon?

Suzanne S. Barnhill raše:
See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.


Thank you! BTW, Dian Chapman states at
http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=253
that "Accept the fact that not all documents need to have underlines."
or "You can either hire a professional form expert to program your
form, or you can print out the form and hand it to your user along with
a pen."

So it seems there is NO non-VBA way to create a page full of horizontal
lines that can be written upon by computer.

The closest I could get reading the FAQ noted by Suzanne was a bottom
border applied to each separate cell of a table. But this needs a table
row for every line of text!

There is also the option to apply a bottom border to a paragraph but I
cannot get more than ONE line this way, it looks like this:

test test test
test test test

I cannot have the line to be under the 1st and 2nd lines, only under
the 3rd one...
