Lines that can be written upon?

[Fiance]

My goal is to create a page full of parallel horizontal lines that
could be written upon BY COMPUTER.

Using "underline" is not an option, because underline ends where text
ends. Using "_______" symbol (underscore) is also not an option because
writing upon it is impossible - it "pushes" the line.

The only option I found is "Borders and Shading"/"Border", then drawing
a bottom-only border. However, such a border applies only to the last
line of a text.

Is it possible to create a page full of such horizontal lines? Can such
lines (that could be written upon) be created in a page already full of
text?

Thank you!

Read help on Forms. That's precisely what they are for.

Thank you! BTW, Dian Chapman states at

that "Accept the fact that not all documents need to have underlines."
or "You can either hire a professional form expert to program your
form, or you can print out the form and hand it to your user along with
a pen."

So it seems there is NO non-VBA way to create a page full of horizontal
lines that can be written upon by computer.

The closest I could get reading the FAQ noted by Suzanne was a bottom
border applied to each separate cell of a table. But this needs a table
row for every line of text!

There is also the option to apply a bottom border to a paragraph but I
cannot get more than ONE line this way, it looks like this:

Did you overlook the suggestion of drawing lines?
