Underline Changes in Form Field
I have a weird thing happening in my form. I've set up a form for form
fields. I've also used underlined tab stops so the form can be printed and filled out by hand. It's all good and works fine but an issue I had with it at first was that when the form field was filled out, the underline went away. To fix this I created an underline character style and applied it to the field. This solved that issue but now something entirely weird is happening. When the field is filled out with more than 21 characters, the entire underline turns BOLD. It's a small thing but it's driving me CrAzY! Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening and how I can solve this issue? I'm running Word 07 (03 didn't do this! grrrr) on a Windows XP machine. Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance. --Dax -- I would give my left hand to be ambidextrous! |

Underline Changes in Form Field
FWIW, it's generally more satisfactory to put form fields in table cells of
fixed width, with a bottom border applied. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Dax Arroway" wrote in message ...
