create a template that will not change when I type blank spaces
I want to create my own lease document for my business that I can use as an
ongoing template. Would like to be able to just fill in the blanks on the document and then print it. When I try the underlining and everything else moves when I try to fill in the blanks on the form. How do I make the document a unchanging document? |

Hi, Len. This is very simple, especially when the form is used only by you,
and you're the one who builds it. First method is less restrictive than the second. Try either: http://www.officearticles.com/word/e...osoft_word.htm http://www.officearticles.com/word/c...osoft_word.htm ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "LenH" wrote in message ...

You can follow the suggestions made in the other replies, but may I suggest
an alternative? Why try to have "blanks"? Yes, for a rough copy that you're going to fill out by hand, but for one you're going to create on the computer, why not have each lease document be an ordinary Word document that looks as if it were created expressly for the intended purpose? The easiest way to achieve this is to use MacroButton fields where you want to insert text (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...acroButton.htm). You can use F11 to quickly go through the document and fill out each field, and the resulting document will be a unique lease. -- Suzanne S.
