I am trying to figure out how to insert text into a
document that has blank lines?
I created a "Fax form" that I can print out and use to
write in but I also want to be able to use the form to type
in the information into the blanks when I have a lot of
info to fax. Can anyone let me know how to do this? Do I
need to start over and re-create the "Fax form" so that the
lines I made will accept text and still leave the line?

Help!!!!
 
In Word, choose Tools/Options from the toolbar menu. On the Edit page,
select Overrtype mode. This should enable you to type over the blank lines.
 
You can either double-click on OVR on the status bar or press the Insert
button on the keyboard, but this won't allow you to type on the lines; it
will just overwrite them. See
