Insert Rule (Line)

Introduction

Use this dialog to insert a horizontal line (or rule) into your webpage.

Open the Insert Horizontal Rule Dialog.

1. First open the Insert Horizontal Rule Dialog:

2. On the ‘Format’ menu click “Line”.

Insert a Line into your Document.

1. In the Thickness box, choose the thickness of the line.

2. Using the Alignment menu, choose the alignment of the line on your webpage.

3. The Width box can be used to set the width of the line.

TIP

The width of a line can be defined in two ways, as a percentage of screen width, or absolutely in pixels. The difference lies in how the line is displayed when a visitor resizes their browser. If you define a lines width as a percentage of the screen width (100%) say, then no matter how a visitor resizes their browser, the line will always fit exactly across their screen. If a line’s width is defined in pixels, then the line will always appear the same width, no matter how a visitor resizes their browser. If the browser window is smaller than the line, then scrollbars appear in the window.
