To apply an Inside Horizontal Border, create at least two empty paragraphs and select them. On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the arrow next to the Borders button and select Inside Horizontal Border. You'll also need to apply a Bottom Border to the last paragraph. Note that these are printable lines, but you will not be able to type on them in Word with normal word wrap at the end of a line. With drawing lines you can fill a page with lines that the text, as you create it, will sit on; the text will wrap naturally to the next line.
But you can't have the lines magically appear as you type, if that's what you're asking. The only thing that I've found works, but it is a little tedious.
Type a few words on a line and just copy paste how ever many lines that you need or want to create. Be sure and type full lines that go all the way across the page. The line automatically comes up blue but while the draw tool was open I clicked and changed mine to black. Next, go to the end of your text and hit the backspace key until all of the text is removed, your lines will stay in tact.
If you just select all the text and hit delete, for some reason this screws up everything so backspace is the way to go here. After all your "made up" text is deleted, just start typing and you will see that your text comes up on the line and it automatically goes to the next line and continues.
No need to hit enter or tab, it automatically wraps to the next line. Example, if you create 3 lines, when you get to the end of the 3rd line, a 4th line will just appear for you to type on. It only gives you the one line though. If you continue typing after that, the extra line just continues to drop. I really hope you find this helpful and I wish Microsoft would make this easier for their users.

Searching throughout the internet, the closest method I found is writing and hitting enter so as to make a full underlined line. Yet as I write the text I need and it reaches the end and continues on the next line, the underlining just goes one line lower. Looking forward to hearing suggestions! This thread is locked.

In reply to CastroJenny's post on January 10, I meant straight underlines on which it is possible to write on within Word, without the need to stop writing before the end of each line and continue on the next line by clicking on the next line each time. I do not need any checkmarks or anything else, just straight horizontal lines on which I could write on and when the text reaches the end of the underlined line it goes automatically to the next line which would be automatically underlined as well OR that I can create the underlined lines myself, but at least the text would go automatically onto each next underlined line when it reaches the end of the previous one.
When I write my text on the first underlined line and it reaches the end of the line, the continued text goes automatically onto the next line, but with that it just pushes the first underlined line one line lower which is what I want to avoid. Any help would be appreciated! Charles Kenyon Volunteer Moderator. What you have is a paragraph border. This was automatically inserted by the "Autoformat as you type" feature of the AutoCorrect Options.
When you continue typing, you continue the paragraph such that the border keeps at the bottom of the paragraph. One thing you could do is create a lined graphic likee a page from a tablet and put that in as a page background.
Otherwise, you could get something approximating what you want by having your text underlined and fully justified. Put a right tab at your right paragraph indent likely the page margin and press the tab key at the end of each paragraph. An example of this second method is below. Non-printing formatting marks are displayed as is the ruler so you can see the tab at the end of the text and the right-tab set in the ruler.
You would want to leave these formatting marks displayed so that you would remember to do any typing before the tab. Showing non-printing formatting marks in Microsoft Word Note, without the right-tab setting and the tab at the end of the paragraph the line would end with the text on the last line of the paragraph. The purpose of the tab is to continue the underline to the right indent.
Suzanne S. Barnhill MVP. In reply to Suzanne S. Barnhill's post on January 10, Thanks for the answer! Well, the inside horizontal line option makes it a little bit easier to put the underlines by pressing just enter, but since it still does not change the wrapping as you mentioned, I will look for the drawing lines options more closely. As for now it seems to me that the option is for blanks and limited underlines, but I hope I am mistaking - so is the drawing line option suitable for making full page horizontal underlines on which to write the text continuously with each line being underlined automatically or at least the text going wrapping?
I would be already happy if the drawn underlines would not drift as soon as the text goes into the next line. Even with the parameter behind text, the drawn underline does that. I am clueless - what else is there to try? Stefan Blom MVP. You can anchor a text box containing a one-column table to the page header; it will then repeat on each page of the document. You will have to adjust the line spacing of text so that it matches your row borders.
A bit of trial and error will be needed. This should not happen provided all the lines are grouped and anchored to the first line of the paragraph or some absolute position on the page. This site in other languages x.
How to Create Fillable Forms in Microsoft Word.
Follow these steps to set calculations in text fields and drop-down boxes that appear in your fillable PDF forms:. If you leave the default settings for the field as unformatted content, the field shows NaN—which means Not a Number. If you open the Format tab and choose Number from the Format category, you'll see an error message. The only way to guarantee a seamless division operation is to use a JavaScript IF statement to define conditions for the field when it's blank.
Unless you write the JavaScript, leave the field unformatted as Acrobat will still calculate the proper value. Sometimes you get them when duplicating a field with the same name. The select all option will check them all but then I cannot selectively de-select individually either. What might I be missing? Hi Brian, Have you set the calculation order properly?
Would this make any difference? So I am trying to Subtract A from B. A is a fixed number. Are these the steps your using for the subtraction? Open the Properties for the results field. Click the Calculate tab. Now click the Simplified Field Notation radio button. Click Edit to open the Javascript Editor. Type the expression in the editor, such as TotalExpenses-Revenue. Make sure not to add any spaces. It sounds like you might want to include a reset field so all your fields go back to the default value.
I would like to have 2 equations. Total all the expenses…check. Then take total revenue minus the previous total expense number. This equation is not working.
I am using a simplified field notation but it is not computing. Is this possible? Any suggestions? Thanks for letting us know you got it working. Sometimes you can still select the fields if you click just off to the side.
Lori, I found a solution. Creating Forms is like building a jinga tower. Lori, Thanks for the response. Only a fourth of the calculable fields show up in the Calculation Field box. All the 1s, 2s, 3s, 6s, 7s, 8s and 9s show up.
So I checked to make sure they are set to calculate something. They are. Luckily, I was able to change the calculation to be the 3s. FYI, I have over fields in a two page document. Did I over build? Hi Jeremy, Do you have the calculation order set properly. I have 10 line items that have many options. I made sure the first line item was calculating properly. With nothing in the field, there is nothing to calculate. I close and save and re-open Acrobat but still get this error. Can you post your question here so our Experts can help you with the calculation?
I have a text field that is a total of some fields above earned safety total. How do I get this calc? It also will not allow me to type in the Simplified field notation or custom calculation script fields. Our community manager is on vacation this week.
Can you please post your question in the Acrobat forum, and one of our experts can help you:. This is a bug in Acrobat. Try using the space-bar or click a bit off the center of the check-box to check it. I can either select all or none. Am I missing something that I need to format in the fields? Thank you for you answer. However I found another javascript that worked:. After the introduction of this javascript you need to clear the form in order the zeros to dissapear.
How can I make the Total column blank until a value is entered? I have a field to enter a value and then that is multiplied times a set value, which in turn figures a total. The Total column shows zeros in each row until a value is entered into the first column.
Have set the field calculation order? Lori, I created a declining balance form. I have the Columns calculating correctly, but the total pre populates down the rest of the total column…. Do you have any ideas on how to make it so you see the last total once and not down the rest of the column? Percentage fields are bit different in Acrobat. They only have a value between 0 and 1, which means that when you use them in a calculation, you would use a value of 0.
I have a form that shows current salary, IncreaseDecrease amount, new amount and percentage. I have the format for the percentage set to none, and I have selected teh radio button: simplfied field notation.
This works fine when I have test amounts in the fields but then I get those errors when the form is empty and you are trying to fill it out. I understand that I need to put something in the Custom Calculation script - would it be possible for you to share this?
I am having troubles incorporating a percentage into a multiplication equation. I thought maybe it was because it was numbers. I renamed them aa and bb, and it calculated!! All set! This tutorial should help you with your subtraction problem: acrobatusers. I need help with a subtraction function. I have one field that I need to either subtract three other field from or a field that I have the three tallied.
Please help! Thanks once again Lori. But your clue was enough to put me on the right track. All fixed and working as intended now. Thank you. So glad to hear you got things working. So now I have my beautiful price list all completed and functioning. But if I send it to somebody else that is only running Adobe reader, it does not allow them to save any information entered into the form.
It will allow them only to save a blank copy. Is there any solution to make this form work with Adobe Reader, or have I gone about this the wrong way from the start? That was it. Thank you very much Lori for saving me hours of further frustration. Just make sure you have the calculation order set properly. Hi and thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Trying to do a price list form. I have a field which is a fixed price. I have nominated the value by using by entering it as a value in the Simplified Field Notation field. I have a row of user entered boxes to enter how many items of each size.
Numerical values. Then a total box which totals the quantity of items and finally a Sub Total box for the Dollar value.
As soon as I enter a value in the quantity the total quantity calculation immediately updates. Can you please post your question here and select the JavaScript category so that one of our Experts can assist you with your question?
