fixed lines in Word
Hi,
I am using MSWord 2003 and I would like to use a documents in which I have fixed lines in it. IOW, If I type over them they will not move. Can acomplish that in Word? I do not like to use the underscore feature...because it moves spaces all the same. TIA Hernan |

Generally, we use tables to do that, Hernan. They're great for creating
signature lines on contracts or for fill-in forms. For instance, for a left/right signature setup: Insert a 3-column, 4-row table. Remove all borders. Counting the cells, left to right then down, put borders on the bottom of cells 1, 3, 7 and 9. In 2 and 4, type "Signer name" In 10 and 12, type "Date" or "Company" or "Title" or something... ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Hernan" wrote in message news Hi, I am using MSWord 2003 and I would like to use a documents in which I have fixed lines in it.

Hi Anne,
Thank you for the tip :-) However I still have some minor problem... I created a table of 3 columns by 40 rows. The first col is for date, 2nd for initials and the 3rd is for comments. Then as I input the comments and I get to the end of that row, it wraps, making the row bigger. And instead of TABbing twice is there a way to make the cursor jump to the next row under the comments? Thanks again for your time. Hernan "Anne Troy" wrote: Generally, we use tables to do that, Hernan. They're great for creating signature lines on contracts or for fill-in forms.

No NICE way, Hernan. The only way of which I'm aware is to use a macro that,
on Enter key, takes you to the next row, 3rd column, and that's kind of painful...what do you do when you WANT it to go to the first cell? You could use your down arrow key. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Hernan" wrote in message ... Hi Anne, Thank you for the tip :-) However I still have some minor problem...

Hi Anne,
Thank you for your answer. What I do, is to press enter, so probably what I want then is a macro to do the jump. If you know how/what to do for the macro to do this, please post. Again, you have been of great help. Now I'm off to learn more on macros. :-) Hernan "Anne Troy" wrote: No NICE way, Hernan.
