Hi Jan,
For reasons known only to a select few at Microsoft
the only 'straight line' shapes included in Word 2007 in Insert=Shape are
connector lines (green sizing handles)
To insert a 'regular' (blue sizing handles) straight line in a document you can use the following workaround. You will get the old
Format Autoshape dialog choices to go with these old line types.
1. In Word 2007 go to
Office Button=Word Options=Customize=Keyboard
2. In 'All Commands' locate the 'DrawInsertLine' command then assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
Back in your document ull give you the ability to be able to draw old version lines in your document and you will be able to choose
the 'missing' line style.
I'm guessing that there should be a way to put this command into a macro so it could be put on the Quick Access Toolbar and
'clickable', but I haven't seen the macro for it so far).

HI Suzanne. This is just a straight line, which I want to use to divide
some text areas in the document. I wanted to use the double line to make it
more distinct. I don't eve see how to make it the thin/thick/thin like we
can in 2003. Is there an Add-in that will do this?

In Word 2003, this is Line Style rather than Line Weight. The Line Style
command does not appear to exist in Word 2007. Is the application
something you could use a border for? You can still get double and triple
lines for borders.

I have inserted a shape line in a document and want to make it a double
line
and can't seem to locate the feature to do that, or if not longer
available
2007, how do I insert a double line? I tried the Shape outline but,
there
is no double line listed in the weight box, or the more lines in any of
the
sections there. I tried to look it up in Help, but, it seemed only to
tell
how to double underline text or again referred to the Shape outline. The
3
pt double line is available in the weight list in 2003.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Jan
