Underlined Text, UnderlinedTabs, and "pseudo" form docs
I've been asked to re-create a hard-copy form in Word to appear exactly as
the hard-copy version does. Users can then use the Word version as a pseudo form doc. However, because the formatting must remain exactly as the hard-copy form (underlines, spacing, etc.), I cannot use Form fields. I am having trouble keeping text underlined when typing in underlined tab areas: when an underlined tab comprises an entire line -- i.e., is preceded and succeeded by a Paragraph mark -- then added text remains underlined. However, if the underlined tab comprises a portion of an entire line -- that is, preceded by text and succeeded by either text or a paragraph mark -- then the underlining does not remain. Attempts to set Underline do not "stick." Possibly of note: the underlined blanks must use a different typeface than the rest of the doc. Any suggestions? Thanks, -Hans |
