I'm creating a form. I want it to have several "fill-in-the-blank" lines
(i.e., Name:_____________, Address ____________), but I want to be able to
save the form for multiple future uses, and be able to just go in & type text
on the lines without affecting the layout of the form as it was saved.

The link that Jay refers, is very easy to follow, however, when you decide
on your method, try to envision the future use of your form, where someone
may want to create a data base based on the input from the user. I found
that when a data base is desired, using bookmarks within table cells is easy
to extract and collate data.

Just a thought.

It's not perfect, but you can use Underlined Text to fill in those blanks.
The underline will replace the overtyped undersxores. Unless you hit Insert
to switch to overtype mode it'll just move the underscores to the right as
you enter underlined words.
I usually leave such underscores off and just use the underlined font;
then you can't tell it's not an underscore.
