customized forms

[MBKB]

I've created customized forms that I'd like employees to use in their
computers. How do I create the forms so information can be added to them
without erasing what I have. For instance, I have customer
name_____________, how do we type in the customer name without going over the
underline...is this possible?

You can do this in several ways. One is to put your places where people are
typing in tables with bottom borders on the cells. Another is to have the
text formatted as underlined rather than typing in an underscore. A third
would be using macrobutton fields, with or without underlines. What I
suspect you want is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help.

Hope this helps,
