Just a dump guess here, could it be with a macro? A hotkey?? Or vba??

The everlasting dilemma is, if you choke a smurf, what colour does it
turned?

Subject: [mso] Forms in Word 2000 - question about underlining



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?
