My "Horizontal Line" Doesn't Show Up
I'm trying to put a horizontal line between two parts of a document. I go to Format -- Borders and Shading--Horizontal Line Button down at the bottom of the dialog box. Then I pick the one I want, and hit okay. At work, this pops in whatever line I've chosen. But at home, all I get is a long thin box where the colored line should go. Do I have to install something to make this feature work, or have I got some checkbox deep in "Options" not properly checked off? Is it more sinister than that? Thanks for any advice. ddc |

Did you check the color of the line?

No, but I'm not using the lines that appear under the "border" and "page
border" tabs of the "Borders and Shading" dialog box. Instead, I'm using the button at the bottom of the dialog box that says "Horizontal Line". It has some pre-formatted lines with color, design, and such already set up (and no ability to change these characteristics). What I get instead of a colored line is a rectangle that disappears when selected, and looks like you could resize it with corner pulls, but these actually don't work. dc "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: Did you check the color of the line? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "DeeDeeCee" wrote in message ...
