Default Fixed Lines in Word


I have a word doc that I am using as an application. I want to be able to have users type in their name OVER a line. The line keeps wrapping onto the next line. See my example. THANKS

Instead of underline formatting, use table cells with fixed dimensions. Add or remove borders as required.

Could you take my example and show me how you would do that?

I'm a complete noob.

Thanks

I created a simple example for the bottom part of your form. See the attached file.

Note that you shouldn't try to create a single table for all items. It's easier to use several small tables.
