Hi!


Good to be here, I was wondering if anyone knows what exactly was used to create the form attached? Specifically, I am wondering how they were able to insert those underlines after "Property of" that when you begin to fill out, the underline begins to disappear and the text does not wrap; it seems fixed to that line. They do this also later on in the document with the "dotted underlines."

I have tried to create a form myself, but am not able to replicate what they did, but I will admit that I am no expert on MS Word form creations.

Thanks in advance for any help!

The lines are tab leaders. To display the Tabs dialog box and look at the settings, you can double-click the tab indicator (the backward "L") on the horizontal ruler. For more on tabs, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/SettingTabs.htm.

Note, however, that you may find it easier to design a form using table cells (add and remove borders appropriately). For more, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm (you can ignore the links to articles on creating protected forms).
