how do I create a lined page with no text
On the View menu, click Header and Footer. With the insertion point in
the header, insert a text box, drag it to fit the page. Remove the border (via Format | Borders and Shading). Insert a one-column table. Clear the cell margins. Specify the desired row height and then add as many rows as needed to fill the page. Add top and bottom borders, but no vertical ones. Close the header/footer area. Since the table is inside the header, it will be visible on each page added automatically by Word. To type on the lines, specify a fixed value of line spacing for your text. Note: With the most recent version(s) of Word, you may be able to insert a table directly into the header (without putting it in a text box). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Microsoft-Steve-Customer" wrote in message ...

In addition to Top and Bottom Borders, you'll need to add Horizontal Inside
Borders. -- Suzanne S.

how do I create a lined page with no text
I can insert a one column table. I get a box that asks me for the number of
columns and number of row. I made it 1 column and 50 rows. There is nothing about row height. I made the fixed column with "Auto". The other options were "Autofit to Contents" and "Autofit to Window". I do not know how to clear the cell margins or remove the Border via format. By playing around I was able to get something. But I would like to havefollowed your instructions to have more control. "Stefan Blom" wrote: On the View menu, click Header and Footer.

how do I create a lined page with no text
You could type the "underline" character (just hold that key down until you get tired.
or. You could type the underline key 3 times and then press enter and you will get a line from margin to margin. repeat as often as you want. or You could buy some ruled paper!

how do I create a lined page with no text
I typed the underline key 3 times and then pressed enter. I then copied this
again and again to make the document as long as I wanted. I then added numbers by going to "File--Page Set Up --Lay Out" I then clicked on the line numbers box--followed by clicking on the "add line numbering box." I then saved it as a template. Richard--thank you very much. Your solution hit the nail on the head and now I have a useful template.

On the Table menu, click Table Properties. Click the Row tab. Click
the "Specify height" box, type the desired amount (some trial and error might be needed to get it right). For "Row height is," choose "Exactly" and then click OK. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Microsoft-Steve-Customer" wrote in message ... I can insert a one column table.

Indeed, this solution will work perfectly to create stationery for
hand-written letters. But note that you cannot use Word to type on top of the lines inserted with the underline key. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Microsoft-Steve-Customer" wrote in message ...
