---------- How can I format a line like this? ----------
I am trying to setup a heading or other formatting code so that I can break
my document into parts separated by a heading like this: ----------- Chapter 1 ----------- Where the two lines are a % of page width; move with changes in the text ("Chapter 1"); and are centered vertically with the text in the middle. I have seen this in documents, but I can't figure out how to do it in word. Thanks in advance! |

Several ways but an easy one is to insert a centre aligned tab at the centre
of the page. Press tab and type away. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "mooring" wrote in message ...

Sorry, I didn't format my question well. Where the "dashes" are shown in the
subject line, I would like to have a solid line the is vertically positioned at the midpoint of the font.

Set a center-aligned tab at the center of the page and a right-aligned tab
at the right margin. Tab once, type the chapter number, then tab again and press Enter. Select each tab character and format it as underlined and raised by whatever amount is required to get the line where you want it (probably a little less than half the nominal font point size, e.g., 5 points for 12-point type). You can accomplish much the same thing by setting an underline leader to the tab stop, but the alignment (and the weight of the line) will be slightly different. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you; that will work.
Additionally, if you don't want the lines to go to the margins, you can simply change the margins for that line. "Suzanne S.

Use Format, Paragraph and set an indent from the left and right to adjust
the width of the line. Save it as a style or a formatted AutoText for insertion anytime you need it. Terry "mooring" wrote in message ... Thank you; that will work.

If the line has extra leading spaces, change the horizontal alignment to
Center, then back to Left or Justified. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Darren" wrote in message ...
