Microsoft Word 2003 line/graphic

[Katrina]

Hi, I am creating a memo, in the memo it has some text then it has a line
across the page, the line is decorative and a separator, much like the one
you would see in a Microsoft word Memo template. The Template Memo shows a
line, but you can’t click on it, how do I get a line like that? The problem
is I already have mine all formatted and I don’t want to start over by using
the word template.



So here is the problem, I have this line across the page, there is text
above it and text below it. When I enter down to the next page, so that I can
show my boss the footers to approve the memo, the line moves. I have tried
everything, from sending it behind the text, all the things in the formatting
and nothing will make my line stay there.



So, the question is, how do you draw a line in Microsoft Word 2003 and get
it to stay in one place when you are typing or entering text down?

I think that link was to tell me how to get rid of the line. I don't want to
get rid of the line. I want the line there as decorative.

But, I want to somehow format the line, when I enter or write the line moves
down. I want the line to stay in one place.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

The link also explains what the line is and how it is created. It is a
paragraph border, and you can get the same effect by applying a border of
your choice to a paragraph of your choice; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/Borders.htm

 

[Katrina]

I am not understanding that document, is there a specific paragraph you can
point out? Cause I am not finding it?
Is there a way to take the line I have and make it stay put?

Thank you for you help.

 

[Katrina]

I figured out how to get the line there in the background, now my problem is
getting it to be not as wide as it made it. I want it about an inch from each
side of the papers, if I move the margin at the top of the screen that messes
up my footers.

I know I am being a pain, please help!

 

[Jane Brown]

The line moves because it is part of the paragraph formatting. You need to
remove the paragraph formatting first and then create the line as a graphic
with a Format Layout option such as Behind Text.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Either that or create it as a page border. You haven't ever really said what
it is you're trying to do. You said you wanted to create a line like one you
found in your document; that line had obviously been created as a paragraph
border. We've been trying to tell you how to create a paragraph border, but
if that's not what you want, then we need to know what it is you do want.

 

[Katrina]

Okay, I will tell you what I want. I have a memo, under the who it is to and
from, I have a line across the page. The line is decorative, a separator,
before we start our memo.
See below for what I want:
Memo
To: [Click here and type name]
From: [Click here and type name]
CC: [Click here and type name]
Date:
Re: [Click here and type subject]
________________________________________________________________

So I want the line to stay there and I want it to be a certain length. Does
this make sense?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

You need a bottom border on the Re: paragraph. Note that the border will not
always be on the same place on the page (depending on the length of text
added above it), but it will always be in the same place relative to the Re:
paragraph. In the Border Options dialog, you can specify how much space you
want between the text and the border. You can also add Spacing Below to the
Re: paragraph to separate the memo text from the line (the space will be
added below the border).

Okay, that makes sense, how do I get it to be a certain length? I don't want

okay, I did do the bottom border, by highlighting the "RE" and going to

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

It is *supposed* to move with the text, as I indicated. If you don't want it
going all the way to the margins, then the only way is to adjust the
paragraph indents. You could try a border on the memo text (indented)
instead, but it sounds as if a border is not what you want. You can insert a
drawing line and set its position relative to the page rather than the
paragraph it's anchored to, but you run the risk that text will run over it.
I don't understand why you don't want the line, which clearly separates the
headings from the message body, to be situated between the two.

Well, that's where you're making your mistake; when you assign a bottom
border to a paragraph, it applies to every other paragraph with the same
formatting (you don't get a bottom border on every paragraph because you
haven't added a Horizontal Inside border). When you press Enter, you're
getting the same formatting (unless you have correctly used styles and have
set a different style as the "Style for following paragraph." You could
remove the border from the new paragraph using Ctrl+Q. Or, instead of
pressing Enter to get to the body of the memo, you could add one more "Click
here and type memo body" MACROBUTTON NOMACRO field below the paragraph with
the border.

I "do" want the line. What I want is the line to be the length across that I
want it and I want the line to stay put. If I type in the RE: and then I

set a different style as the "Style for following paragraph." You could
remove the border from the new paragraph using Ctrl+Q. Or, instead of
pressing Enter to get to the body of the memo, you could add one more "Click
here and type memo body" MACROBUTTON NOMACRO field below the paragraph with
the border.

I "do" want the line. What I want is the line to be the length across that I
want it and I want the line to stay put. If I type in the RE: and then I
enter down to start my memo, the line moves down the page, I want it to stay
right under the RE

It is *supposed* to move with the text, as I indicated. If you don't want it
going all the way to the margins, then the only way is to adjust the
paragraph indents. You could try a border on the memo text (indented)
instead, but it sounds as if a border is not what you want. You can insert a
drawing line and set its position relative to the page rather than the
paragraph it's anchored to, but you run the risk that text will run over it.
I don't understand why you don't want the line, which clearly separates the
headings from the message body, to be situated between the two.



okay, I did do the bottom border, by highlighting the "RE" and going to
format and borders and shading. I got me a bottom paragraph border, but it
still moves with the text and it doesn't let me make it the length I want.

:

You need a bottom border on the Re: paragraph. Note that the border will
not
always be on the same place on the page (depending on the length of text
added above it), but it will always be in the same place relative to the
Re:
paragraph. In the Border Options dialog, you can specify how much space
you
want between the text and the border. You can also add Spacing Below to
the
Re: paragraph to separate the memo text from the line (the space will be
added below the border).

Okay, I will tell you what I want. I have a memo, under the who it is
to
and
from, I have a line across the page. The line is decorative, a
separator,
before we start our memo.
See below for what I want:
Memo
To: [Click here and type name]
From: [Click here and type name]
CC: [Click here and type name]
Date:
Re: [Click here and type subject]
________________________________________________________________

So I want the line to stay there and I want it to be a certain length.
Does
this make sense?


:

Either that or create it as a page border. You haven't ever really
said
what
it is you're trying to do. You said you wanted to create a line like
one
you
found in your document; that line had obviously been created as a
paragraph
border. We've been trying to tell you how to create a paragraph
border,
but
if that's not what you want, then we need to know what it is you do
want.

The line moves because it is part of the paragraph formatting. You
need to
remove the paragraph formatting first and then create the line as
a
graphic
with a Format Layout option such as Behind Text.

I am not understanding that document, is there a specific
paragraph
you
can
point out? Cause I am not finding it?
Is there a way to take the line I have and make it stay put?

Thank you for you help.

:

The link also explains what the line is and how it is created.
It
is a
paragraph border, and you can get the same effect by applying a
border
of
your choice to a paragraph of your choice; see

I think that link was to tell me how to get rid of the line.
I
don't
want
to
get rid of the line. I want the line there as decorative.

But, I want to somehow format the line, when I enter or write
the
line
moves
down. I want the line to stay in one place.

message
Hi, I am creating a memo, in the memo it has some text
then
it
has
a
line
across the page, the line is decorative and a separator,
much
like
the
one
you would see in a Microsoft word Memo template. The
Template
Memo
shows a
line, but you can't click on it, how do I get a line like
that?
The
problem
is I already have mine all formatted and I don't want to
start
over
by
using
the word template.



So here is the problem, I have this line across the page,
there
is
text
above it and text below it. When I enter down to the next
page,
so
that I
can
show my boss the footers to approve the memo, the line
moves.
I
have
tried
everything, from sending it behind the text, all the
things
in
the
formatting
and nothing will make my line stay there.



So, the question is, how do you draw a line in Microsoft
Word
2003
and
get
it to stay in one place when you are typing or

entering
