Why does my horizontal line look like a rectangle?
When I insert a horizontal line, whether through FORMAT-BORDERS AND
SHADING-HORIZONTAL LINE, or via a shortcut on the toolbar, I get a rectangle instead of a straight line. I obviously changed something, because this used to work. Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!! |

A solid rectangle, which would be a very think straight line -- change
line width back to .5 pt or whatever -- or a box with an open inside?

Why does my horizontal line look like a rectangle?
My line is created by selecting "horizontal line" on borders & shading.
After that, sometimes it gives several styles of horizontal lines to choose from...I always choose the first, a single black narrow line. But when it appears on my word document, it is a black line on top of a black line with the sides connected (like a rectangle). Any ideas?

The dropdown for choosing the line style is always there; maybe you
should choose the simple style line again?

When the line is selected you will see this box around it. What happens if
you click away from it? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "proudmattsmama" wrote in message ...
