Vertical line--leaving line and losing the box
I'm using Word 03 on MOS 03. I'm not familiar with the drawing tool but
have experiemented with it. I wanted to make a quasi-legal document for an agency and didn't like the setup of the MSFT Legal Pleading Wizard because it seems to rigid and time consuming. All I want to do is to make a vertical line down the page. So I pulled up this which seems like a nice instructive site with several ways (Line tool seems the most simple and quickest): http://wtonline.vitalnews.com/Pages/Tip0687.html and I searched "vertical line word" on the Office site and got this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/re...ical+line+word 1) If I use DrawLineLine Stile to get my line a box appears around it. If I try to lose the box that I don't want to show (it does in Print Preview) I lose the line. How do you lose the box framing the line without losing the line? 2) If I have to type one part vs. the other, is their a way to make the line proportional to the style of this? Jones v. Jones with the line separating the Jones v. Jones even though the style of the case takes up the whole page width? 3) Is Add vertical lines between newsletter-style columns the way to go?

Switch to print layout view (print layout view: A view of a document or other object as it will appear when you print it. For example, items such as headers, footnotes, columns, and text boxes appear in their actual positions.). 2.. If your document is divided into sections (section: A portion of a document in which you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or headers and footers.), click in the section you want to change. 3.. On the Format menu, click Columns. 4.. Select the Line between check box. I could make the line by hitting Ctrl + E and center the line or some parentheses and keep coming back to the center but that is slow--must be an easier way to make a line without the surrounding box staying in the way.
