Auto Textline Adjustment
I'm building a form for employees to fill out. One of the fixed sections is
for Narratives with 15-16 visible horizontal lines. I want the visible lines in the section to print evenly (each line the same length - not justified). However, when a line of text reaches the end of the line and more text is typed, the line breaks and starts on a new line, which it's supposed to, but the first line breaks short if the text is not exact and so the visible stops where the text ends. What I want is for each line to be a Fixed width and stay as such even if the text is not exact. How do I get the text to break to a new line, but the text horizontal line to run to the end of the line margin? |

No, I think he means an actual fill-in-the-blanks line to extend to the edge
even if the text stops short. This can be done with graphic lines, as described at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm -- Suzanne S.

I think you've just run three times around the barn to describe text whose paragraph style includes "Justified" alignment. You can create a new style or modify an existing style (http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html) so the Alignment setting in the Paragraph dialog says "Justified". Apply that style to the text (or the empty paragraph mark) in that section (http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...lyAStyle.html). If this is the only place in the form where this kind of formatting is needed, a style isn't strictly necessary. You can apply Justified format to the paragraph by putting the cursor there and pressing Ctrl+J. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Auto Textline Adjustment
I've read the info at the link provided, but that's not the answer.
The form that is being created is to document Incidents, Complaints, Suggestions, etc. The Narrative area that is being provided is fill-in the blank, however when the Text form field reaches the end of the margin it adds a line and continues the text causing the form to move downward. I do want the text to wrap, but to the next available. I don't want it creating another line. I've tried using Text Form Field Maximum Length, but it only stops at that point and not continue to the next line, as I hoped it would. - He Who Plans for this Life, but Not for Eternity is Wise for a Moment, but a FOOL FOREVER!!!

Auto Textline Adjustment
You put the desired number of (graphic) lines in a text form field in a
table cell with exact height specified. Although more text can be added, it will not be displayed or print. Note, however, that if this form is to be used only online, having actual lines is pointless and a lot of extra trouble, but if you insist on them, then their position should be defined relative to the paragraph (which means the first line of the paragraph), and they will stay put regardless of how much text is entered. -- Suzanne S.
