Default How do I maintain a standard length line when using form fields.

I need to be able to alter or add the text in the form field, without it
increasing the length of the line (while still maintaining an underline the
length of the page).

Put the field in a cell of a table, with AutoFit Fixed Column Width. Use
the bottom border of the table cell to make the "underline". See
