I have spent a lot of the morning researching and playing with a
form and can't find the answer.
I want to have a line similar to
NAME: __________________________________________
with the underline at a fixed length when printed.
On the underline I want a field that can be of varying length (but
not longer than the underline.
I can get the fixed length underline and I can get the filed but I
can find no way to get both.

Very good. Thanks to you and macropod. One hurdle. The instructions
state "the width can be adjusted by dragging the paragraph's left
and/or right indent markers." Using my example above, moving the
indent marker results in the whole line moving, thus
NAME: _______________________________________ becomes
NAME: __________________________________________
the 'name' text moves along with the indent. What am I missing?
The comment about the indent markers applies only to lines created with
paragraph borders, not to any other kind of line. If you have any text
before or after the line, you obviously aren't using a paragraph border.
The article describes four other methods of making lines. I'll guess that
you used method 4 or 5, involving tabs. In that case, adjust the line length
by moving the tab stop markers on the ruler.
