formatting templates in word

[Guest]

hi there....

sorry if this is the wrong section to post this. i can't format my fax cover
sheet template correctly. How do I get those little format boxes around the
fields? I want to create a section where you write "Attention" with a line
provided to write the person's name. However, I cannot figure out how to
make this line that extends from the attetion or how to format properly so it
can be used as a template. I know that for word on PCs when you make a
line you just press the space bar with the icon for underline pressed. how
do you make a line for macs??? i just want to make a simple line!!!

Thanks,

Jennifer

You could try using tables, which will create a more professional template
that you will even be able to type on. You can apply borders to tables as
well, to get boxes around stuff.

See if these links help out--written for PC but usually it just requires
some substitution of the command key for control key and maybe some menu
differences.
