Hi Robert, I don't know if you can have the x appear on top of the underline. I usually just delete one or more of the underline characters and type in my answer in the resulting blank.

The form has several fields to be filled in such as Yes ____No____etc. I am trying to type an x in one of the above fields and have the x appear on top of the underline but so far I have not been successful doing this unless I select the underline, then delete it and have my x underlined as I type it in which works fine but I thought there was some way of typing an x and having it be on top of the existing underline. Below the yes, no etc. fields are several lines for comments this is where it would really be nice if the typed in comment would go above or on top of the existing underline. What I mean by both move the underline to the right is with the doc open in Word when I toggle insert or over type(control, alt i)it makes no difference as far as getting the typing to go above the underline. Need some way of getting into forms mode I hope the above is understandable, if not and there is a method of accomplishing the above I would be most happy to contact you (Chip) by phone if you give me your number and best time to call you, I live in the Pacific time zone.
