Hi all...Maybe someone can help me with this because I am about to pull my
hair out.
O.K. I have a Word Doc that I need to do for my job. It is an 11 page
biographical affidavit that will be e-mailed to all employees. When they
receive it, they will open it up on their computer and fill it out using
their computer. This doc has about 75 questions ranging from name and
address to name of last job's supervisor etc. After each question I made
a line they can type their answer on. I created the line by holding down
the Ctrl key and then holding down the "minus" key until the line was long
enough. The problem is this..when they click onto the line and start to
type, the line disappears. There are over 75 places where these questions
are asked and I have placed these "lines". Is there any way I can easily
fix this or do I have to do it all over again? I can't tell you how many
times over the years I have received this type of form in an e-mail and
when I opened it I just clicked on the line and typed in the answer and
then clicked or tabbed on the next line and typed that answer and the line
never moved or disappeared. I have already been to the following websites
which weren't much help. word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms
and word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul
