Does anyone know how to create lines in the background of a word doc so that
you can type over them withought the line moving. For example:
Date:____________

The line wouldnt move when you typed on it.

Howdy,

Well, there might be better ways, but consider this
approach:

Click View | Toolbars | Drawing

Once there, you can draw the sort of line you want, and move
it to your chosen location.

The line won't move when you add or remove text.

All the best,

But when you type past the end and it goes to the next line, the line moves
down and doesnt stay at the text you had just typed.
