Default Draw a Double Line in Word 2007?

Ryan wrote on 09/18/2009 14:47 ET :
I've pulled my hair out many times trying to use this pos Office 2007. One
of the annoyances was trying to draw a double line.

I draw a line, right-click, select Format Autoshape, then try to change the
Style to a double-line, but it's greyed out.

Any ideas?

And if you'll allow me to rant a little bit, I just want to use Word... this
new interface is tedious and time consuming. I don't want to fart around
with a ribbon, just give me a menu bar.

I know that Word 2007 does not have a separate line segment drawer, but if you
create a table and customize the border box and de-select the sides and bottom
of the box, you have a custom line segment. You can keep top and bottom and
sandwich the text between it. Try it. Works great and looks great! I am a new
comer to this site. Maybe almost 2 years to late.
