Create Real Lines
I want to create real lines in word. That is lines that don't rap around.
Lines that when you come to the end of one line you automatically go to the next line. I know all about using tables to make fixed lines and I know about the automatic line function so please spare me. I want lines that act like real lines. Thanks. Thanks. |

You only need to ask once.

Can you figure out what he wants? I've tried and I'm just not sure.

Yep. He wants REAL lines. Not the fake ones that come with using tables, and
not underlines, and not drawn lines. So, I hate to say, but I think he's SOL. ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "JoAnn Paules [MSFT MVP]" wrote in message ...

Actually it is possible. Start with Excel and increase the width of a
column so that it's about a page width, Then select about 50 rows and apply a border to the bottom of each row. Then Copy and use Paste Special to paste it as a picture into a Word document. Then format the picture so that it is behind the text. Now enter some text and then using FormatPicture again, modify the height of the picture (unchecking the maintain aspect ratio box) until the spacing of the lines corresponds to the text line spacing. Maybe I was just lucky, but changing the vertical height to 100% was spot on. Maybe I was lucky again when I selected the Picture, used Cut and then opened the Header and Footer pane and pasted the Picture into the header of the document and once again the registration was spot on. That way, each page of the document contained lines. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Lines of verse, perhaps?
(I would note that despite what people think of the New York poetry scene, the crowds mix here quite a bit and continue to do so, the real lines being present only in the minds of those who seem to need them to get by.)

Any time I've offered that solution (placing lines in the background), it
hasn't been well received, so I finally stopped offering it, LOL. But of course, you're absolutely right. ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Doug Robbins" wrote in message ...

What kind of lines would be real if the rest of them are "fake"? And to
someone like me, how can I tell the difference between a real one and a fake one? Should I ask to see it's credentials? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Anne Troy" wrote in message ... Yep.

Real Lines: Cruise Lines, Power Lines, Rail Lines, Maybe even Telephone
Lines Fake Lines: __________________________________________________ _ How to determine if the line is fake just ask Are you a fake line?

Create? Yes, to a degree. Active imagination? Yes, at times. Spend too much
time in front of the computer? DEFINITELY! (Perhaps if one was "doing lines", one would hear voices?) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Paul Ballou" wrote in message ...
