As far as I know, a print blank is always 4 dot 36's with a space on either
side.

I am trying to develop a peace of training for our staff to reduce the
amount of editing for Braille production of documents which have fill in
the blank items in them.  

For example you may have a line which says, 

APPLICANT NAME_____ (5 UNDERSCORE CHARACTER PROCEED WITH NO SPACE AFTER
THE WORD NAME.)  

Frequently these number of underscore character is not the same, but is
simply an amount that looks good on the screen or finished print.  

I have not found any direction within WORD for doing this and would
appreciate ideas.  

I typically would put 3 (dots 36 character) but also am not sure what
is suggested at the time of this writing.  I will however go look for
this rule.  

Thank you!
