I'm making a simple name/address form like this:

Name: _____________
Addess: ___________

Etc....

How do I make it so all of the lines are the same length at the end?

Thanks!

Use tabs, either with underscore leaders or with "underlined" formatting.

Jon,

Set a line leaders right tab stop where the lines shoud end.

Type "Name:" then press tab
Type "Address:" Then press tab

Or use a two row x two column table and apply a border only to the bottom of
the right hand column cells.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a
worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat." - TR
