I'm afraid all the messages I've surveyed thus far are way over my head. I
just wanted to find a way to put some lines in a document that will not move
and upon which one can type. Can someone help me? I do not know anything
about creating templates or Visual Basic, etc.

Thank you

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,

No one has suggested that you use Visual Basic or create a template (though
a form is usually designed as a template because you don't want users typing
in the only copy of your document). I suggest you reread
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm and at least the
first lesson or two of the tutorials to which it links.
