'fill in the banks' lines
I'm trying to create a form with lines to fill in. I have MS Word 2000. I
read Dian Chapman's tutorial on forms and in it she said we could use the Line Tool on the Drawing Toolbar. She said the lines are not affected when the user types in the forms. It's true the lines aren't affected but the text is affected - it moves. Am I missing something? This would definitely be the easiest way for me to make the lines because I'm making a real estate form with a TON of lines to be filled in. If I have to make a table for each line it will take me forever. Any tips would really be appreciated. Thank you, Jenny |

'fill in the banks' lines
A much easier method is to put the form fields in table cells with a bottom
border. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "msdobe" wrote in message ... I'm trying to create a form with lines to fill in. I have MS Word 2000.

It would still be a matter of making a table for each line, is that correct?
I'm still confused. Thanks, Jenny "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: A much easier method is to put the form fields in table cells with a bottom border. -- Suzanne S.

Yes, or a table for the entire form. You omit borders for all the cells
except the ones you want to have lines. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "msdobe" wrote in message ...
