adding a field that is underlined for text input

[Bryce]

I want to add a field that is underlined.

So the user can fill in a form and keep typing, and the underline will stay
there no matter how little or how much that person types on that line.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Bryce.

Hi, Bryce. The best way to do this is using table cells, IMHO. You can
select a form field and format it as underlined, but I like to put my
"label" in one table cell, with my form field in another. Then, you can put
a bottom border on that cell only.
