How can I type something underneath a line just like forms have?
I want to type a document, just like many other forms. For example, to write
down your name, the forms have an empty line, underneath which will be (name), indicating what information is needed. I have word xp 2007. Also, how can I open "help" or "about" in windows professional xp 2007? it used to be on the menu bar, now in the ribbon, I don't see it. Thanks. |

This is much more trouble than it's worth in Word. Unless you're creating a
form that is to be printed and filled out by hand or typewriter, I wouldn't even attempt it. For a form to be filled out on the computer, it is much easier to use a MacroButton NoMacro field with a prompt such as "[Click here and type name]."

I usually do this in a table. I have two rows and usually three columns
(middle column blank to provide a space). I erase all lines except the horizontal line between the rows. In the bottom row of the first column, I have "Name" or "Signature," and in the bottom row of the last column, I have "Date." I use the cell border at the top of those two cells to create the line the person signs on. The middle column is usually very narrow and only serves to create a space between the signature and date lines. If you need more spaces than just two, add more columns to the table. I hope this helps. Fred "Noorie" wrote: I want to type a document, just like many other forms.

A table isn't really necessary for signature/date lines (I do them with
tabs), but I believe what the OP is asking for is running text with underlines sprinkled through it, each with a "label" underneath. Although this could be done with text boxes, or can (very laboriously) be done with alternating lines of type of different sizes (using center-aligned tabs), it just doesn't repay the effort. -- Suzanne S.
