Word Document Form
Can anyone help? I am looking to create a word document
form that enables the user to "freeze" a certain portion of a line so that this form may be used as a template to "fill in" information. For example, line 1 would include Last name:___________ First Name:___________ If the lines could be frozen, characters could then be added in and the filled in characters would not shift the line to the right, etc. Please provide assistance. Thanks. |

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and
especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. The usual way of formatting forms is using a borderless table with bottom borders where lines are desired. -- Suzanne S.
