Relative vs. absolute width of tabbed leader lines
Hi, helpful people --
Using Word 2003, part of Small Business Edition. I'm editing a manuscript which has a lot of lines so that a reader can fill in lined spaces with his/her own notes. See below: ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ The manuscript is in standard letter-size layout, but it is being uploaded to a publish-on-demand template that will produce a 6x9 book with the text fully justified. When I laid out the book, I just let the ____ lines wrap themselves until I had the # of lines I needed. But this will, I now see, ruin the nice, even set of lines, because of the smaller format into which it must be placed. Is there a way to code the tabs for the leader lines so that when it is placed into the smaller-format template, instead of the template compensating automatically by wrapping the lines, instead instruct it to create, say, three lines to go to the right margin (but *without* the measurement, i.e., tab stop = 6"), so that the template will simply size these lines appropriately? Thnak you in advance, MT |

Relative vs. absolute width of tabbed leader lines
Unfortunately, relative tab stops are not supported (but they will be
supported in Word 2007). You can create lines using a one-column table with borders for rows (but not for columns). Set the table width to 100% (in Table | Table Properties, Table tab). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "MTLincoln54" wrote in message ...

Another way to do this is with multiple paragraphs with Horizontal Inside
Borders and a Bottom Border. -- Suzanne S.
