To insert a horizontal line (also called a “horizontal rule”), here are four creative ways to do it. Word’s built-in Clip Art Gallery contains dozens of images that act as lines. The three characters trick works in Word for Mac. Shapes are under the Insert Menu, but they don’t have the fancy artistic. In MS Word, I am trying to insert simple horizontal lines into a resume. I'm using the Object Palette and selecting the plain line. I want it to be absolutely horizontal, but after I highlight the line, even with tiny, tiny mouse movements of one end of the line, Word seems to want to put a tilt to the line. When you see the one that shows your data best, apply formatting, sparklines, charts, and tables with a single click. Dave, Welcome to Apple discussions. It's possible to get what you want, but you'll have to make it manually the first time. Here's how: in your document, hit a bunch of underline characters so that it stretches across the page. Select and copy to clipboard. Open Pages Preferences > Auto-correction. Click on the plus sign to create a new auto-correction. ![]() In the Replace field, put three hyphens. In the With field, paste in your underline characters, then click away from that field. Close preferences. Go back to your document. On a blank line, type your three hyphens, then a space. It should expand to a horizontal line across the page. Thanks for the feedback Dennis. Unfortunately this isn't the desired behavior that I want. The problem with this approach is that it is only a line of underscores that go along the bottom of the text row. Here are two examples of what I don't want it to look like: 1) Using underscores - as you can see they are well below the HEADING HEADING _____ 2) Using hyphens - closer to the heading, but still too low, and disjointed. HEADING ------- 3) I can't provide an example of this using text on the forums, but using the underline functionality and extending it to the end of the line is not the desired behavior either, as it is actually on the same line as the HEADING. Basically I guess I want a row of 'overscores' (sic) across the page. Not possible? Thanks again.
