Glad I could help. Greg Maxey has a similar article more closely targeted to
what you're trying for ("banner text").

No.
I'm afraid you've exceeded my knowledge base by leaps and bounds.
How do you do it?

Did you also try creating a bottom border on the text using an EQ \x
field?

Thank you very much!
Exact line spacing worked with a little tweaking.

This is a Pagemaker document, imported into Quark, and stripped
and
placed
into Word. Although I cleared the formatting and started over
with
the
formatting, there are some codes that must be there that don't
show up
under
Reveal Formatting or using the paragraph symbol.

I inserted a line of em dashes under each column of numbers in the
first
example.
I used exact spacing to place the em dashes as I wanted them.
I copied the line and inserted it under each column of numbers
throughout
and deleted the previous line that would not move for some reason.

Worked great!

Thank you for helping me finish a major project!
Bless you!

Kerning is an adjustment to the horizontal position of the

Nothing to do with vertical placement; so I can't see how that
will
help.

Use an exact line spacing, perhaps?

I cannot make the drawn lines consistent throughout the
document.
I
read
the
responses about truncating type using the kerning option.

I know I should use a publishing software to produce this
catalog,
but
would
really like to keep the document in Word and publish from a
PDF.

Are my options to use kerning or to draw each line
individually?

I'm reformatting a college catalog and need the underline
as
shown
above,
but don't want that much space.
Have other ideas?

In a column of figures,
how do I do I underline the last figure before total
without have an excess amount of space between the two
numbers?
I tried kerning the total figure so it would be closer
to
the
line
and find it prints ok, but cuts off the number.
Line spacing didn't work well, either.
Your thoughts????
