Line across under the Header Text
What is the best way to have a line under the Header text. This line should
always be precisely at the same distance from the top, such as can be found in many books. Drawing a line manually is not very good, as it is difficult to position it precisely in different sections. In older versions of Word, I used to insert a frame in the header that I could copy into all sections. This feature is no longer available. What is the best way to achieve the same result in Word 2002? Thanks, in advance, for any help anyone can offer. |

Line across under the Header Text
Hi Peter
The easiest way is to put a bottom border on the paragraph. To do this do View Headers and footers and go to the header you're interested in. Format Borders and shading. Make sure the "Apply to" box says Paragraph. Apply any border you like. This is the simplest way to add a line. It will always be in the same place relative to the header text, you can't accidentally drag it somewhere else, and if you delete the text, the line goes away too. If you want all headers in your document to have a border, then format the Header style to add the border to the style. But don't do this if, for example, you have no header on the first page, or a letterhead or logo in the first page header and you don't want the line there. By the way, you can still use a Frame in recent versions of Word. In Word 2002, the Insert Frame command is hidden away on the Forms toolbar of all places. If you use it a lot, use Tools Customize. On the Commands tab, in the Categories box, choose "All commands". In the Commands box, choose Insert Frame. Drag that to, say, the Insert menu. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
