HOW TO PREVENT LINE DISAPPEARING WHEN CHARACTER IS TYPED

[LARRYB]

I HAVE A FORM THAT CALLS FOR A DATE TO BE TYPED. WHEN I TYPE THE DATE OR
OTHER CHARACTER MY LINE SEPARATES, HOW DO I PREVENT THE LINE FROM SEPARATING?

Use a table cell with a bottom border. Or see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm and especially the
forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.

Sounds like the form has not been set up as a form. Just an underline to show
where to insert. Try switching on the OVR overtype and also use the underline
when typing the date. Does this work for you?
