problem: custom content control border
I cannot seem to make a custom textbox border. I wish to have a "filled in
form" text box where the border is only an underline. My choices are either None, Box, Shadow or 3-D. Custom seems to do nothing. Reference this image: http://swri.info/images/bad_custom.png that shows the "shadow content control" I selected for testing. After googleing I read where any box haveing less then 4 sides (but more than 0) must be a paragraph. How do I set up my text box to be a paragraph of one line with no space betweeen the next paragraph? ie: 10 rich text content controls in a row with only the underline showing? What I am trying to do is simulated a ruled paper form that someone fills out using a typewriter or by hand. Typing into the protected form puts the text on top of the underline. For example I want to be able to fill text into underlined part of the form as in First line he Second line: dont want the following First line he one Second line: two done want underlined font either as I get this First line he one Second line: two want exactly the following First line he one Second line: two yes, i can set the border to "none" and possibly can use line art and draw a line between the text input boxes on my "filed in form". The custom text box is cleaner one would think. thanks for looking! |

problem: custom content control border
Use a Table and underline the bottom border of the cells as required. If you
go the table route, use Text Form Fields where you want the users to enter text and Protect the form. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Beemer Biker" wrote in message ...

yea - I went and used the "insert shape" to put in an underline. While this
was tedious, as soon as I did a few I used copy and paste to do the rest. "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Use a Table and underline the bottom border of the cells as required.
