Word replaces --- with a solid line. How do I create more ?
I would like to have various solid lines (in text, between paragraphs). How
can I create these? Also, how can I turn off the autoformat feature which makes a full line out of three ---, ___, or several other keys? Thank you. |

To turn off the automatic feature, select AutoCorrect Options from the Tools
menu and then go to the AutoFormat As You Type tab and uncheck the box in front of Border lines in the Apply as you type section of the dialog. To create more borders, use the above feature or select Borders and Shading from the Format menu. -- Hope this helps.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...tRidOfLine.htm for cause,
cure, and prevention (and more information on which character sequences produce which borders). As Doug says, you can apply borders manually using Format | Borders and Shading. -- Suzanne S.
