drawing a line I can type on later
I'm creating a form. I want it to have several "fill-in-the-blank" lines
(i.e., Name:_____________, Address ____________), but I want to be able to save the form for multiple future uses, and be able to just go in & type text on the lines without affecting the layout of the form as it was saved. |

G'Day
The link that Jay refers, is very easy to follow, however, when you decide on your method, try to envision the future use of your form, where someone may want to create a data base based on the input from the user. I found that when a data base is desired, using bookmarks within table cells is easy to extract and collate data. Just a thought. Krakmup "Jay Freedman" wrote: noellia wrote: I'm creating a form.

It's not perfect, but you can use Underlined Text to fill in those blanks. The underline will replace the overtyped undersxores. Unless you hit Insert to switch to overtype mode it'll just move the underscores to the right as you enter underlined words. I usually leave such underscores off and just use the underlined font; then you can't tell it's not an underscore.
