Adding lines to documents

Shapes and lines can make it easier for business analysts to distinguish between parts of a document, and can help you highlight certain information. For example, lines can be used to differentiate between different regions in a document.

You can insert horizontal or vertical lines in documents.

To add a line

1. Open a document in the Document Editor. (How?)

2. Expand the document section where you want the line by clicking the plus sign next to the section name.

3. Select Line from the Insert menu, or click the Line icon in the toolbar. When you move the cursor to the Layout area, the pointer becomes crosshairs.

4. Click in the section of the Layout area where you want to place the line. Click and drag to size the line and draw either a vertical or horizontal line.

5. You can format the line, such as changing the color and whether the line is solid or dashed. (How?)
