Thanks for sharing this tutorial. It really was a big help. One problem. Can you pls tell what was the version you were using? I mean 2007 etc.

[bartonpoulson]

@littlechickawan Well, the answer is I can't really remember. It may have been Word 2007 for Mac but, really, it doesn't matter because I've been doing it the same way on Mac and Windows for the last several versions of Office. There may be small differences between them but nothing of substance as far as this tutorial goes. Hope that helps.

You are just too cool. I have spent so much time fruitlessly searching for some program, or thing of the sort, to help me create a questionnaire. I am simply amazed at how you created an easy and non-threatening questionnaire using a series of simple "thingies". You are undoubtedly the maaane.

@KrypticXkaijin Ah, you're so welcome! Always glad to help.

How about lines that you can type on without the line getting bigger and/or separating ie: ___ttt___

[bartonpoulson]

@turtle199 Sorry to not get back to you sooner but one way to do that in Word is to put the questionnaire in a table where the first column is for the questions numbers, the second column is for the answer spaces, and the third column has the questions. Then remove all borders from the table. Then, put bottom borders in each cell in the second column. That way, the line is part of the border and is not affected by text being entered in the cell.

Hope that helps!
