G'Day Violet,
In Word, and on a blank line at the bottom of the Page, type: --- OR (3 hyphens) ___ OR (3 underscores) === OR ~~~ OR ### followed by ENTER. Repeat on the next line, until there are sufficient lines. To space the lines vertically, select then all and FormatParagraph Set 'Space after:' to between (say) 6 pts. Re-adjust to taste! -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "violet56" wrote in message ... I am making a coupon at the bottom of a letter for name, address, etc info.

If you want to provide printed documents for people to actually fill in the
blanks by hand, the easiest way is to use what is called a Tab Leader. Assuming that you are 'labeling' one line (paragraph) for each piece of information: 1) Select the paragraphs which need the lines and go to FormatTabs and type in the position (4.5, 5.25 etc.) where you want the lines to stop, 2) Leave the Alignment option set to Left, select Leader option #4, and click [Set]. Then click [Okay], 3) Place your Insertion Point at the end of the text on one line & press the Tab key. Then do the same on each additional line. If you want more than one item per line, such as CITY_______________ State____ Zip_________ you can set additional tabs as necessary on those lines. You could also just use the Underscore Character to create the lines, but that might make it difficult to get all lines to stop at the same spot as well as other undesirable concerns.
