How do I place text under a line?

[Guest]

I'm trying to make a form for Marketing, and they want a line with (Insert
customer Name here) right underneath it, like in a form. But this will be in
the middle of a paragraph. How do I do that?

Try a fill-in form:

There isn't really any good or easy way; it just requires a lot of manual
formatting. You might ask Marketing if they would mind if you redesigned the
form in a way that would be easier to create. If not, you'll just have to
treat each line of the paragraph as a separate paragraph (or at least use
line breaks at the ends of the lines), set a center tab stop where the
identifying text goes, tab to the tab stop, enter your text in a smaller
font, press Enter (or Shift+Enter), then type the next line of the
paragraph, etc.

If this form is to be filled out online and Marketing doesn't want to use a
protected form, see if you can sell them on the idea of using MacroButton
fields, which allow you to have text such as "Insert Customer Name Here" in
the running text and easily type over it. See
