Help with filling forms needed
Hi,
Quite often I get the forms in Ms Word to fill in, which seem to have been create more for print, e.g. something looking like this (font times new roman): Name______ Last Name __________ Birth Place ______ Birth Date ______ Whenever I try to fill them in on my computer (using underlining & deleting some nderscores) the structure of the form gets broken. Is there a way to fill them in a more elegant way? Creating from elements by hand wouldn't be a solution as there's a create number of forms like that. Thanks in advance, Arthur |

Help with filling forms needed
If they've been designed for print, then much the easiest solution is to
print them and fill them out by hand or with a typewriter. It's not your job to recreate forms that have been created by others. But if you want to create your own forms, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. (And if you really want to "fix" the forms you receive, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm.) -- Suzanne S.
