Thank you! You know what though? I tried it, and it worked just like you
said, except when I then go in & attempt to type on a line, every letter I
type causes the form field to be extended one space to the right. So instead
of simply filling in the line that's already there, the text creates "more
line" as I type, and everything else on the page (that line of the page) gets
shifted to the right as well.

Hmmmm.

On the FORMS toolbar, press the Text Form Field button to insert a form
field. Place cursor in the field just created (it probably will be grey) and
press the Underline button on FORMAT toolbar to underline the form field. Do
this for every field you want to add. There is a button called Form Field
Shading that will remove the grey background from the form fields if you
don't like they grey background. When your done press the Protect Form button
on the FORMS toolbar. This will allow typing only in the form fields when the
document os opened. Save the document

I'm creating a form. I want it to have several "fill-in-the-blank" lines
(i.e., Name:_____________, Address ____________), but I want to be able to
save the form for multiple future uses, and be able to just go in & type text
on the lines without affecting the layout of the form as it was saved.
