To add a horizontal line now you use the Borders menu.
The problem being that when you do add the line, there is a huge gap between the previous text and the line created.
The only solutions I found online were work-arounds like adding a shape or using a paragraph border. I HATE work-arounds like that. It doesn't solve the problem, it just uses something else. I want to know how to move that line up!
So, the real solution is to select the line, go into the Font menu, click the Advanced tab, and change the Position from Normal to Raised. Then, change the number of Points to raise the line by. At a 26 pt font I chose 18 pts.
Voila!
Now you can adjust the font size and the raised size of the line to get exactly the spacing you want.
THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteGlad I could help!
Deletedoesnt work... cannot get the font option with only the line selected
ReplyDeleteI'm having no problem. Try selecting the line and then clicking CTRL+D. That's a keyboard shortcut to the font menu. Hope it helps!
DeleteOMG, Thank You Soo Much! I was so frustrated with the same problem, but you led me to the answer! My path was just a tad different tho, so I'll describe what I had to do in my version of Word: Selected the Line, then clicked on the Font arrow (in the tool bar, to open the Font Menu - Font option did not appear via "right-click"). From the open Font Menu, I had to select the "Character Spacing" Tab, and that's where I found the "Position" and - hallelujah! - the options to change it! Thanks again Trevor!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Crap like this is really annoying.
