Creating line segment in Word with three markers/places
I am working on a chart, and would like to create a horizontal line with
three short vertical markers--one at the left end, one in the middle and the third on the right end. Is this possible in word, or will I have to make it manually and then scan it? -- Paul MS Office Pro 2003 XP Home Dell Inspiron 1501 |

I did see lines, but none that were straight, and had the vertical lines as
well. -- Paul MS Office Pro 2003 XP Home Dell Inspiron 1501 "JoAnn Paules" wrote: Did you try using drawing items? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Paul" wrote in message news I am working on a chart, and would like to create a horizontal line with three short vertical markers--one at the left end, one in the middle and the third on the right end.

You create a straight line using the Line tool. You add the vertical markers
as more lines. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Paul" wrote in message ...

Creating line segment in Word with three markers/places
Correct. That's it. THanks. I was hoping to find a line graphic that already
had the vertical segments, but once I read your comment, it was easy enough to create them. I went to View, then inserted the Draw toolbar. At the bottom, I went to AutoShapesLines, then picked the one without any gunk on it. After arranging it just where I wanted it, I found that I would have to go back to AUtoshapes and select that same line again, but this time, I arranged it on the first horizontal line, and each time, made another vertical line. Easy enough once you know what to do. Thanks again. -- Paul MS Office Pro 2003 XP Home Dell Inspiron 1501 "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You create a straight line using the Line tool.

Or, click the Line Tool (a button on the Drawing toolbar), click where
you want the line to start, and click where you want it to end. To constrain it to horizontal or vertical, press Shift while moving to the end spot. (The direction you draw the line determines where the arrowhead goes, in case you turn it into an arrow.) After you've drawn your crossing hashmarks where you want them, select all the line segments you've just made (shift-click on each one, or drag around all of them), and Group them (dropdown menu on the Drawing toolbar). Then you can copy your creation and use it anywhere. On Aug 10, 10:25 am, Paul wrote: Correct. That's it. THanks.
