I'm trying to make a blank form

I need to make some (almost) full width lines for text entry

something like this: ________________________________

anything more that 2 or 3 and Writer starts doing some funky shit that makes no sense to me and thusly pissing me off to no end.

help me arfcom geeks, you're my only hope this late

(yes, I tried google and I just don't know how to accurately describe what I want to do and/or google is a pos, as usual when you need something 'now')

Turn off auto-format.



ETA:



Format Menu > Auto Format, Uncheck 'While Typing'

wtF... I found a way on-line to remove these lines, but GD who the fuck came up with this fucking asinine way of doing shit?

here we go again, but this time it's M$ word.

who the fuck programs this shit?

none of the on-line help I can find works.

software and I are not compatible.  if there is something that doesn't work right, I always find it.

this is getting fucking tiring.

fucking programmers thinking they know what I want to do, and they're fucking wrong.  or I want something to do happen automagically like it's supposed to, and the fucking thing doesn't work right.

fuck me, I HATE SOFTWARE.   It used to be pretty reliable, now these fuckers want to push shit out the door in order to turn a fast profit saying we'll fix it later.. and they never do.

me and software:

If all you need is the line.

Hold the dash key (next to the zero and above P) for a few dashes, and while holding it, press Enter.

Minus key on the Num pad works too.

ETA: This is in OO 3.1, can't help you on M$ word
