Add vertical lines on mirrored margins in word 2007
I am creating a user manual. I have set mirrored margins 1 1/2" from the edge
with a small gutter margin. I set the margins as big as I did to allow an area to put text boxes with special tips or for just an area for people to write notes. I would like to have a vertical line separating the text from the blank margin area. If I draw a vertical line and anchor it, the line moves when edits or additional items are added to the text. Is there a way to insert a vertical line that will not move when the text is edited or section/page breaks are added? Please Help! THANK YOU!!! |

Anchor it in the Header rather than in the text.

Doesn't Mirrored Margins do that for you? If not, why not?

If you are using Word 2007 you can use columns and choose the "left" column option to create a narrow column and a wide column. Hope this helps. |

If you're anchoring the line to the header, you have to anchor it to the Odd
Page Header to get it on one side and the Even Page Header to get it on the other, just the same as if you wanted page numbers on the outside. -- Suzanne S.

Yabbut you don't have to do the step of _enabling_ the Different odd
and even. I should have said "Anchor them in the Headers" -- but note that BAM spoke of a single vertical line. On Mar 9, 11:44*pm, "Suzanne S.

Add vertical lines on mirrored margins in word 2007
She said she enabled "Mirror margins" and set a large outside margin and
wants a line between the text and the margin. That means she wants a line on the outside of each page, to the right of the text on odd pages and to the left of the text on even pages. In order to achieve that with a line anchored to the margin, one way is to anchor the line in the appropriate position in the odd and even headers. Another approach is to use the Advanced Layout setting to position the line Outside of Margin or Page, but this puts it right on the margin. Another way to put a line in the margins is to use a Page Border on just the one side, but there's no Outside setting for those, and there's no provision for different ones on odd and even pages. This pretty much leaves graphic lines anchored to the odd and even headers as the only practical approach. -- Suzanne S.
