I'm trying to create a small form, say name, address, and number. After each there will be a line that is uniform to the rest. I normally just create tables and add borders on the botom of each cell. That gives a nice clean "line" for filling in, but I can't create a table in a text box so what can I do?

I can't just use the underline key repeatedly because the ends never line up. I tried using tabs with the line leader but can't figure out how those work right?

Form example:
Name _____
Addy _____
Number_____

but all the lines start and stop at the same length, and I don't want to draw lines either?

Double click a spot on the ruler where you want the line to end. Specify ___ as the line type. Type some text, and press tab. The tab will then draw the line until that point you double-clicked.
