I wish to create a lease document with blank lines that can be filled in with
different info each time
If for "tradition", you want the document displayed including the blanks and
just tab to the next "blank" to type in the value, then the advice to use
Microsoft Word is good advice. And, perhaps your question was that broad.
But this newsgroup is for Microsoft Access database software. If you wish,
you could create a form to collect the information you want to insert. You
could then create a report, including references to the fields in the table
where you saved the information, and print the document.
Alternatively, you could export the information in appropriate form, usually
called "mail merge" form, to merge with a Word template / document with
fields defined into which the mail merge information would be inserted.
I don't think it would be beneficial to simulate "filling in the blanks" by
displaying all the other text -- I think it would be just as well to create
a form with labels and fields for the information you want the user to
enter. Then, that information will be merged and the user will see the final
product in printed form (or preview on screen).
