Underlines in a form text field
I have a client who recently converted to Office 2003. She has a form with
many underlined text form fields. She tells me in her old version of Word that when she printed the form out only the fields with data in it had the underlines showing and that the blank fields did not. She wants to be able to do the same in Word 2003 but all blank fields print the underline. Are the options for this? I've checked everywhere. Thanks, Terry |

Underlines in a form text field
Set the default text for the formfields to a single space.

Underlines in a form text field
Thanks much for the reply Doug. I set the space in the formfield like you
said and it worked great. So I forwarded your response but she still insists there is an option that you turn off or on to do that. I'll keep checking. Thank again.

Underlines in a form text field
I am using 2007 at the moment and the menu system is completely different to
that in Word 2003, but I think that there maybe a setting in ToolsOptionsCompatibility (or on one of the tabs on the Options dialog) where you can set whether spaces or trailing spaces are underlined or not. Maybe that is what your client is talking about. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
