I want to center a title on a word doc with solid lines on each side of the
title
ex.
---------------------------TITLE---------------------------------
I cant seem to figure this out
thanks

A quick way that requires a bit of eyeballing is to just use EM dashes
CTRL+ALT+NUMPAD "-" to make the solid lines.

Word doesn't make this easy, but it is possible.

Use the line tool on the Drawing toolbar to draw a line to the width
you want it. You can also use the line style and line color tools on
the toolbar to format the line as you like.

Next insert a text box. Type the title inside and format it as
desired, including centering it (Ctrl+E) and any font, size, and color
changes.

Right-click the edge of the text box, select Format Text Box, and set
the line color dropdown to No Line. Leave the fill color as white.

Position the text box in the middle of the line. The box's fill will
cover the line. Adjust the width of the box so it's slightly wider
than the text inside.

Select the text box, then hold down Ctrl while clicking the line so
they both become selected. Then right-click and select Grouping
Group. This makes the line and the box one piece, which you can drag
to the position you want.
