Creating a dynamic line in a row
Hi
I'm trying to figure out a way to make a line that covers the entire row and sits in the middle, until a text is typed, then it starts to get shorter until it should eventually disappear as the text fills the whole row.
I've tested lot's of options but none of them provided a desired solution, such as inserting a text box which just get's pushed onto the next row, etc...
Unless there is a setting directly in word that would allow this, it might have to be a job for VBA, which I've never tried before. if anybody knows how to achieve this I'd be most grateful.

This could be done by setting a Right-tab at the right side with a line tab leader. You will need a tab character after your text to activate the tab and leader.
