I wrote a macro to generate a memo form. The memo has the usual To:,
From:, etc., and then I want to draw a simple horizontal line under the
heading to separate it from the body of the memo. I want the line to
stretch margin to margin. However, I run the macro on pages with
varying margins, so my question is...

How do I generate a line from the left margin to the right margin,
regardless of the distance between the margins?

Much obliged.

G'Day George,

If you have never tried it, try now (in a blank document)
typing (in threes):
---Enter
___Enter
===Enter
~~~Enter
###Enter
***Enter

The "Lines" that are generated are paragraph (bottom)
borders, related to the Enter (paragraph mark) that
you type.

They will be as 'long' as the paragraph is wide - usually
from margin to margin.

Note, however, that they are affected by Left/Right Indents
where present.

You may like Pat's answer, but the real answer is that you shouldn't need a
macro to create a memo form. This is what templates are for. See
