My goal is to create a page full of parallel horizontal lines that
could be written upon BY COMPUTER.

Using "underline" is not an option, because underline ends where text
ends. Using "_______" symbol (underscore) is also not an option because
writing upon it is impossible - it "pushes" the line.

The only option I found is "Borders and Shading"/"Border", then drawing
a bottom-only border. However, such a border applies only to the last
line of a text.

Is it possible to create a page full of such horizontal lines? Can such
lines (that could be written upon) be created in a page already full of
text?

Thank you!

Read help on Forms. That's precisely what they are for.

Thank you! BTW, Dian Chapman states at
http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=253
that "Accept the fact that not all documents need to have underlines."
or "You can either hire a professional form expert to program your
form, or you can print out the form and hand it to your user along with
a pen."

So it seems there is NO non-VBA way to create a page full of horizontal
lines that can be written upon by computer.

The closest I could get reading the FAQ noted by Suzanne was a bottom
border applied to each separate cell of a table. But this needs a table
row for every line of text!

There is also the option to apply a bottom border to a paragraph but I
cannot get more than ONE line this way, it looks like this:

test test test
test test test
test test test
-------------------

I cannot have the line to be under the 1st and 2nd lines, only under
the 3rd one...

Did you overlook the suggestion of drawing lines?
