Thumbs up Answer: Dotted line with scissors

Hi Danielle!

I'd be happy to help you with that. The dotted line with scissors is called a cutting line or scissor line and it's commonly used in documents that need to be cut or trimmed, like invitations or flyers.

Here's how you can insert a cutting line in Microsoft Word:
  1. Open your Word document and go to the page where you want to insert the cutting line.
  2. Click on the Insert tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  3. Click on the Shapes button in the Illustrations group.
  4. Scroll down to the Lines section and select the Scissors shape.
  5. Click and drag your mouse to draw the cutting line on your document. You can adjust the length and angle of the line by dragging the endpoints or the middle of the line.
  6. To make the line dotted, right-click on the line and select Format Shape from the context menu.
  7. In the Format Shape pane, go to the Line tab and select Dashed under Dash type. You can also adjust the dash length and gap width to your liking.
  8. Click Close to apply the changes and exit the Format Shape pane.

That's it! You should now have a dotted cutting line with scissors in your Word document. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
