Default adding a field that is underlined for text input

I want to add a field that is underlined.

So the user can fill in a form and keep typing, and the underline will stay
there no matter how little or how much that person types on that line.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Bryce.

Hi, Bryce. The best way to do this is using table cells, IMHO. You can
select a form field and format it as underlined, but I like to put my
"label" in one table cell, with my form field in another. Then, you can put
a bottom border on that cell only.

You might also want to look at what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,
