Automatic line in Word 2000

[Janet]

I used to be able to type in the equal sign 5 times (or the dash, etc) and press enter and get a line. Now it doesn't happen. Why???

You must be one of the few users who actually wants this feature. On the
AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect, check the box for
"Automatic borders." Also, see
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Formatting/CantGetRidOfLine.htm for
information on some other borders you can create this way.
