Adding a few underlined tab stops for a sig

Post by AndyG »

Hi:

This may be a foolishly obvious question but how does one add a few underlined tab stops for, say, a signature line in a document? I've created a snipped for a name, title and date signature block but the tab key seems mapped to the Create Group function.

Please and thanks!

Two ways come to mind. First option, create a table and add a bottom border to the cell where the signature would go. Second option, create a paragraph or div class that has a bottom border. Both options give you the ability to specify the width of the container tag so the signature line doesn't go from margin to margin, which would make it look more like a content separator than a signature line.

You may find that wikipedia article useful. Not sure if tab characters work in print output, but in online output, they only work when you use <pre> tags, or when you set a style's whitespace property to pre.

However, you are probably better off not using tab at all -- I'd probably create a table that contains the spacing I want and use that.
