In Microsoft word, how can I draw a gray line that I can type on?

You know, rather than just emulating a line wtih a bunch of underscoring. I am creating a questionnaire that will be filled out electronically. Thank you.

In Microsoft word, how can I draw a gray line that I can type on?
I'd say create a table.





One cell (no border) for the question. Cell next to it (or underneath) with no border except for the bottom line of the cell. Pick color/line thickness via table properties.

Reply:Go to the View menu, and then Toolbars. A menu of different toolbars you can select should show up, choose "Drawing". Somewhere on your screen the Drawing toolbar should show up. You can use that to create shapes in your Word document, including lines.
Reply:type what you need to type. highlight what you need underlined and click the "u" with an underline on top.

____ with shift:)
Reply:In Microsoft Word you can use the "Tables" feature.





From the Menu bar, choose Table, then Insert, then table.





A Windows Box pops up that allows to you customize the number of row and columns.





Once set Table is set, you can then go to from the menu, Format, Borders and Shading. Here you specify the style of the lines and, as you asked, the color.
