Word-underline with no text
I have been caused to use Word from Office 98 and wish to create a simple form to collect name, address etc. In Appleworks I would type Name and then click on Underline and use the space bar to draw a line to the desired length. Word does not seem capable of this. I have a manual and have searched that for clues as well as 'online' help. Is this simple task possible? Help please.

Merv If it is merely to be printed you can simply draw the line. ViewToolbarsDrawingLine. If it isnt floating 'In front of text': FormatAutoshape...LayoutIn front of text. This will stop it 'snapping' to your text and allow you to position it to suit. Good Luck Paul

Insert a Tab then highlight it and click Underline you can then move the the ruler tab marker to the desired length. It works for me OK.

Re: Word-underline with no text
Thank you for all the suggestions. I has been playing with border and found them unsatisfactory. I now have choices to do the task. Thank you.
