Form Letter
Hi all, I have a bunch of form letters that get populated by another
application to which I have no control over. The form letters are premade with areas to fill in various fields for example client name, account number etc., these areas all have an underlined spot where a user could simply print the form and fill out the areas manually or the can print the fom from the application and have it fill in various feilds automatically. I have to set up the forms with a [name] whereever I want for example the clients name to appear. The problem is when the form is automatically populated if I put the [name] on the same line as the underline it pushes everything over and if I put it on the line above it looks bad because the name is hovering to far above the underline. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I have tried using a right tab with a leader but that always leaves the [name] right aligned on the underline and the leader looks like an underline but then the [name] field doesn't get underlined. Any help would be greatly appreciatted. -- Thanks Neil |
