You can do this with online forms or with macrobuttons. With macrobuttons
you can even have your underlines disappear after your answer is typed in.
See http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide...tm#MacroButton and
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFl...acroButton.htm for more
about macrobutton fields.

For more about online forms, follow the links at

Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,

Hello,

I'm creating a contract in MS Word (2003) that will have several areas
that need information typed in later. I want those areas to be
underlined. Can someone tell me how to insert some type of button/field
so that I can just click on that area when I am ready to type in it and it
will automatically all be underlined? Right now, if I start typing in
that area, it moves the text to the right as I'm typing and I have to
reformat everything everytime I do.

Thanks for the help,
Beverly
