Without know much about what you're doing, Bill, I'd suggest using tables instead of text boxes, you can see the table borders but they don't print. Otherwise, you might create lines, position the text boxes then delete the lines. I often use tabs with line leaders as place holders for text if the form is not going to be filled in on line.=20 Using form fields is another, probably best way, to position text in a document. Dian Chapman has terrific tutorials on her web-site for forms. www.mousetrax.com/techtrax hoping to help. /g -----Original Message----- From: billthurston [mailto:billthurston@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 06:31 AM To: mso Subject: [mso] non printing lines I need to make a template with some non-printing lines. The lines would be used just to position a text box. I know how to make a template but do not know how to insert some non-printing lines.
