Default Lines to type on, in template....

I once use to know how it was done, but its been too long ago..
I have a template in word, and I need a textbox in order to type a paragraph
or so. It may not be always the same length. I cant remember how it is done,
I do remember that a frame was used first and then I inserted the lines with
the underscore.. can you help me? The important thing is , I really like to
have the lines visible...Please any assistane is appreciated. Bill

The only practical way to do this, allowing the typing to wrap naturally, is
with drawing lines. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm

With drawing lines, however, you will have a set number regardless of the
length of the text. If you want the lines to match the text, then perhaps
you want to just format the text as underlined?
