I have created a from in Word 2003. I have also added a text form field box
in the areas needed. My question is: How do I draw a line to the right
margin so that when information is entered in my text field the line will
remain firm and not move? I have gone to
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/FillinThe Blanks.htm and it does not
answer this question.

I need people to be able to complete the forms without the additonal lines
moving.

Try right-clicking on the line, go to 'Format AutoShape', and change the
Layout to 'In Front of Text'. I'm trying to remember W2003, but I think the
language is fairly similar to this for your path and option. If that doesn't
do it, try going to the same place - in Layout - going into the advanced
area, and un-check the 'Move object with text' box.

You can use a table. Apply borders only to the bottom of the cells that
contain text form fields.

For this and other solutions, see:

The table solution is number 2 in the article.
