line weighting between columns
I'm using Word 2007. I have a document with three columns and I need a line
between each column. I check the 'Line between' box in the column settings, but I can't find any way to change the weighting. It prints too heavy and I would prefer light lines. Any ideas? |

line weighting between columns
The "Line between columns" cannot be formatted in any way. Sorry.

line weighting between columns
Thanks for replying.
It seems like a poor oversight on the part of the creators of Word not to include such a simple operation. Why would they assume that people who want a line between columns want a thick one? I hope they include it in updates, but ideally they would have thought of it when Windows 3.1 was still being used. Come on, Microsoft! |

line weighting between columns
FWIW, most complaints I've seen about the line between columns have been
that it was too light/thin or that the color couldn't be changed. In Word 2003, the line appears to be about ¾ point, which is not especially heavy. -- Suzanne S.
