Dear Wordbros,

I am using Word 2010.

I mean to insert a line with text aligned right underneath the line, describing what is to be filled on the line. I do not know how to do this in Word and require your advice.

I intend to use the above to create "Signature lines", "Name lines", and "Date lines", to name a few examples.

I have attached a screenshot of a PDF file I have chanced upon showing clearly what I want to create in Word.

I do not want to use the "Signature Line" feature on Word, because I want more uses for the lines I insert.

You can use tables for this.

You can set tab settings and adjust the interline spacing for your descriptive text. Change the font size and perhaps adjust it to be superscript.


This is for a paper form.

If you are making something to be typed in Word, instead consider using Content Controls with prompt text.
