Problem

Symptoms: A customer created a merge file with an underscore line created with underline. On the line the user included an {INPUT} command. Each time they merged, the line moved to the right when entering text. Solutions: To avoid the movement, the user pressed Shift-F8, 4, 7 and answered yes to underline spaces and tabs. After making the change, the user pressed F8 to turn underline on and then entered the {INPUT} command and message. Next the user pressed Alt-F6 (Flush Right) and turned off underline. The line then remained in the desired position when running the merge.

Another user was attempting to use the {INPUT} command and wanted the text and input to be underlined in an exact position. The customer turned on underline, entered the {INPUT} command, went into the Advance commands and selected Advance to Position. This allowed the underline to go to a certain position and not move as the user typed in the input information.

Another customer wanted to set up a keyboard merge which would underline the entered text. For example, the customer wanted the following:
      NAME: [UND]^C [und].

The customer was able to accomplish this by setting up the merge file as follows:
      [UdlSpaces/Tabs]Name:[Tab][UND]^C[FlshRt][und][Hrt]
