...besides "use OO" or "get a mac"

How do you insert a horizontal line of 2" length, which remains in place when someone uses the file to type something in that space?

If I put in 2" of ____________________
(which is 20 underline characters), and someone comes along later and types in 'airplane' it comes out as ______airplane______
(20 underline characters and 8 letters)

What I want is for it to come out as ______airplane______
where the underlining remains and there is no additional length to the string.

Insert a single cell table with a border on the bottom only.

Edited for clarity.

Think I should import it to E?

You can insert tables into a word document. It has nothing to do with Excel.

Which version of Word are you using?

 

[Let'sgoflying!]

I knew you could do it in Excel, and Excel almost has the word "cell" in it so I figured you meant Excel.
2002.

In the help index I do not see 'Insert a Cell'. Thanks Bob.
I see "Create a Table"

What he said. Here's how to insert the table:

Turn off table borders and cell borders except for the bottom cell border, and you'll have an underline that they can fill in above.

Here's how to do cell borders: http://word.tips.net/T001914_Adding_Borders_to_Cell_Contents.html

P.S.--An easy way to turn off all table borders: Immediately after you insert your table (or at least make sure the cursor is inside the table), press Ctrl+Alt+U. Your table borders will automatically disappear.

Thanks very much folks. I am lazy so I found an old document on another computer with the lines. Copy and pasted into the new doc; all happy again. Much appreciated.

This is really easy to do - you just click Insert Line...
