MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / December 2003How can I show certain size area and write in it.
Back again, I'm having problems getting this done.How can I outline an area with dotted lines and then write in it. What I like to do is write in that area and then cut it out along the dotted line. I like the area to be 3x5" Your help is much appreciated........Peter BTW I tried to go to the envelope/label tool area of my Word 2002 (office XP)and I can't get that done there, I can't find any labels to work with..........Peter > Back again, I'm having problems getting this done.How can I outline an area > with dotted lines and then write in it.

There is an Avery 5386 Notecard that is the dimensions that you require, Select that label and then click on New Document and then select the table and add the type of borders that you require as the grid lines will not print. Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Are you trying to use Word 2003 and digital ink to handwrite something?

I will just type in several sentences, cut it out, laminate it, and then put it into my shirt pocket. I will have all kinds of different ones. The size is from a business card up to and no bigger then 3x5. Thank you very much............Peter > > Back again, I'm having problems getting this done.How can I outline > > an area with dotted lines and then write in it.

In that case, insert a text box and give it a dotted line outline (Format Text Box: Lines and Colors, choose a dotted line style). -- Suzanne S.

Quick question. Since I typed up a lot of these little sayings, and I used the return key at the end of the line, how can I get rid of these return hits, so my cut and paste will be like I line wrapped it, or what you call it? I tried the cut and paste, and it did not look good the way I had it. .............Thanks Suzanne..............Peter > In that case, insert a text box and give it a dotted line outline (Format > Text Box: Lines and Colors, choose a dotted line style).

Another tip: You might want to make your dotted/dashed outline a pale grey so you can just see it--enough to provide cutting guidelines but not so obvious if you miss with the scissors. <g> -- Suzanne S.
