DEAR GRAHAM
That is so nice of u. In any case, I am checking line by line what
it does and what I want. Just now sort of figuring out excel basic
and when I came to word, it is totally different and not familiar
with the commands.

In the mean time, can I have ur permision to send one form which was
made on the ship but I feel not at all user friendly. If I have to
spruce it, might take a long time with my novice knowledge. So can u
look at it and tell me or sugest better way?

DEAR GRAHAM
Thank you for instant response. Making new forms basis your advice
and thanks.

With regard to the auto text-- well I am still at it. But the macro
u sent - i am trying to decipher it and will take time to ustand
what each line does. Of cource will not give up but will take it
up when time permits me on the ship.

Such a form is designed to be filled by hand using a pen.
If you wish it to be filled using the PC, you need to replace the
lines with form fields and protect the document for forms.
If you need to retain the lines and fill form fields the form
field should be placed in a table cell of fixed dimensions and the
'line' is emulated by setting a border to the bottom of the cell.

Dear All

In the forms prepared to fill in data, there is a box for filling
comments. In this comment box there are lines like this "
_______________ ". When I start to type the comments the line "
_________ " keeps shifting and when I hit space bar the typed
matter gets shifted to top line. What is the back ground for
this sort of building the form and how to make this line
disappear when I type comments?
