Hi gang. I came across a weird one today when I was teaching a private
class. This student of mine made up a simple form which he saved as a
template to use as his Fax cover letter. It's real basic. Simple text
fields for date, name, etc. and a simple text field where he can input a
message explaining what is included in the fax. He also made up a few
simple text files for these messages that he just copy/pastes into the
message part of this form when he wants to put it with a fax.
The weird thing is that every time he pastes one of these into this text
field, it is underlined. I have checked everywhere to see where the
underlining is coming from and I can't find it anywhere. The field is
not underlined and if he manually types something into it, it does NOT
get underlined....only when he pastes something into it.
The only way I can paste anything into any of the fields in his forms
without it getting underlined is to unprotect the form first...then the
text pasted in is NOT underlined. And if I paste something into the
form when is IS protected, after I get the lines, I can remove them by
highlighting it all and going to Borders and Shading and choosing "none"
in borders, which is already chosen, but if I choose it again, it
removes the underlines.
Detect and repair didn't fix it. Making the form all over from scratch
didn't fix it. Recreating the text in a new text file and copy/pasting
it from there didn't fix it either.
Anybody ever see anything like this?
