Ordinarily, the Shift+Hyphen would produce an underline. Although it is
possible to create tables with underlines and other characters (pipes,
maybe?) if "Tables" is checked on the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools |
AutoCorrect Options, this has always seemed to me a rather painful approach.
Insert Table is much simpler!

Dean: what are "shift+hyphen keys"? Please can you describe exactly what
you
are trying to do and how. When you say "line" do you mean text or
underlining
text or a border of a table or drawing a line manually?
Also what version of Word are you using, this usually helps with
suggesting
solutions to problems.
All the best
