Unfortunately, relative tab stops are not supported (but they will be
supported in Word 2007). You can create lines using a one-column table
with borders for rows (but not for columns). Set the table width to
100% (in Table | Table Properties, Table tab).

Hi, helpful people --

Using Word 2003, part of Small Business Edition.

I'm editing a manuscript which has a lot of lines so that a reader
can fill
in lined spaces with his/her own notes. See below:
________________________

The manuscript is in standard letter-size layout, but it is being
uploaded
to a publish-on-demand template that will produce a 6x9 book with
the text
fully justified.

When I laid out the book, I just let the ____ lines wrap themselves
until I
had the # of lines I needed. But this will, I now see, ruin the
nice, even
set of lines, because of the smaller format into which it must be
placed.

Is there a way to code the tabs for the leader lines so that when it
is
placed into the smaller-format template, instead of the template
compensating
automatically by wrapping the lines, instead instruct it to create,
say,
three lines to go to the right margin (but *without* the
measurement, i.e.,
tab stop = 6"), so that the template will simply size these lines
appropriately?

Thnak you in advance, MT
