I am making a booklet with some questions and i want to make three rows of lines after the question for the student to write an answer. The lines should be a part of the text so if the text is edited the lines should respond ... i would prefer not to use underline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 The underscore ( _ ) character is about the simplest way of doing this. You could use an image of three blank lines and paste it into the text flow.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a new line, add a single tab with the length of the text frame and set the Tab Stop Leader to underscore character Or, as I now see, Publisher lets me set the Tab Stop Leader to an underscore as a preset. Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophet Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Sweet! Clicking the ... (3 dots) next to a tab stop, I get a popup with a checkbox "From Right" where I can set 0 and not have to worry about tabs breaking if I resize the text frame horizontally. Such a nice feature!

thomaso Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 If you want the strokes in column width and without text per line you alternatively can use a paragraph style > decoration > line above or below ...

GarryP Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I’ve attached a short video which shows you one way to do this. Note: When you have added the question, press SHIFT+ENTER to go to the next line without making a paragraph break, then press TAB to create the underline and repeat until you have as many lines as you need. Then press ENTER when you want to add a new question. 2020-09-04_09-28-34.mp4 thomaso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
