You can use the line tool from the drawing menu, or press tab and set a line
leader tab stop. Trying to create graphic effects by repeating a character
is nearly always a poor method.

Hi,

I want to write a line about 3 dash lines long. If I press the dash key 3
times, the line is broken into 3 pieces. That is, they are not connected.
Is there a way to draw a line with an arbitrary length? Please advise.
Thanks.

Tony
