Vertical line for a legal form.
Vertical line for a legal form.
In Word 2007 I downloaded a simple form: €śPleading Form with 25 lines€ť. Which has line numbers and a vertical line on the left and one vertical line on the right side. Now if I could figure out how to create the vertical lines I wouldn't need the form. Boarders dont create vertical lines, they just draw short segments for each line typed. What good is that? However now that I down loaded the Legal form I can't get rid of the line numbering that comes with it on the left, because it doesn't align with the actual text lines I type. Since the Line Numbering feature actually works, and aligns with the text, I could use that feature. €˘ So how do I get rid of the forms line numbering, since Word 2007 controls won't do it? €˘ And how do I draw vertical lines in Word 2007, from top to bottom, as on a Legal Pleading form? Since Page Borders wont do it. It just draws short incremental vertical lines for each line typed. Thanks for any references. October 9, 2007 |

Vertical line for a legal form.
At the moment I'm away from my PC that has Word 2007 so I can't check, but
pleadings in previous versions had the line numbers in a text box that's anchored in the header, and lines (from the drawing tools) also anchored in the header. (See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/AnchorToHeader.htm for an explanation.) I'm pretty sure 2007 still works the same way. So to remove these items, double-click in the header area to open it for editing. Then select the text box (should appear as a dashed outline around the numbers) and press Delete; and select the line and press Delete. Double-click in the main text to close the header area. To create a line in your own templates and documents, open the header area and then draw a line down the margin. In 2007, if the header area hasn't been used yet, double-clicking won't work to open it; you have to click Header on the Insert ribbon, then click Edit Header at the bottom of the dropdown. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. zzz wrote: Vertical line for a legal form.

For the lines, you may also be able to use a Page Border; when you use just
a left and/or right border (as opposed to a box), it goes from top to bottom of the page. Of course, you still run into the same placement issues you get with all page borders (you may have to set it "From text" rather than "From edge of page"). -- Suzanne S.

Vertical line for a legal form.
Double clicking in the header region of the page opened access to the margin
numbers where I deleted them. Problem solved, thank you Jay. I finally found Page Borders under the Page Layout tab, and that worked very well also. Thank you Suzanne for the helpful education. _______________________________ "Suzanne S.

Vertical line for a legal form.
Thank you so-o-o much! I was able to get rid of the vertical line on the
left side of the page by going to "file-page setup-layout-borders-none" to remove it. It was making me nuts trying to get rid of it!!! Thank you very much!
