Default Line in a form keeps shifting

DEAR GRAHAM
That is so nice of u. In any case, I am checking line by line what it does
and what I want. Just now sort of figuring out excel basic and when I came
to word, it is totally different and not familiar with the commands.

In the mean time, can I have ur permision to send one form which was made on
the ship but I feel not at all user friendly. If I have to spruce it, might
take a long time with my novice knowledge. So can u look at it and tell me
or sugest better way?

DEAR GRAHAM
Thank you for instant response. Making new forms basis your advice
and thanks.

With regard to the auto text-- well I am still at it. But the macro
u sent - i am trying to decipher it and will take time to ustand what
each line does. Of cource will not give up but will take it up when
time permits me on the ship.

Such a form is designed to be filled by hand using a pen.
If you wish it to be filled using the PC, you need to replace the
lines with form fields and protect the document for forms.
If you need to retain the lines and fill form fields the form field
should be placed in a table cell of fixed dimensions and the 'line'
is emulated by setting a border to the bottom of the cell.

Dear All

In the forms prepared to fill in data, there is a box for filling
comments. In this comment box there are lines like this "
_______________ ". When I start to type the comments the line "
_________ " keeps shifting and when I hit space bar the typed matter
gets shifted to top line. What is the back ground for this sort of
building the form and how to make this line disappear when I type
comments?
