Create Underlined Spaces That Remain When Typed On October 25, 2006

Posted by iawalsh in : How do I ?, Formatting, Writing, Style , trackback


 Underline spaces can very helpful if you want to tell the reader where to enter data, for example, type their name and address on an application form.
Name:                     
Address:                  
City:                      
The problem is that if you use a normal underline, it doesn’t work. The moment you type on it, the underline disappears. What you want is for the underline to remain where it is – even when you type onto it.
To create underlines that you can type on, follow these steps:
Press Ctrl + Shift + U and then press the Spacebar. This creates the underlines.
Type onto the underline. Notice that it doesn’t disappear.
