Word Formatting Tip

Suppose your writing a multi-paragraph document but you would like to separate each with a formatted line.

Try this … it will give your document a more professional look.

Enter some text in a new Word document… don’t waste time typing… just copy any junk from an existing document.

At the end of the text, press Enter twice:

At the insertion point of the new line try the following:

• Type three dashes and press Enter; you get a single line
• Type thee underlines and press Enter; you get a bold single line.
• Type three equal signs and press Enter; you get a double line.
• Type three asterisks and press Enter; you get a heavy dotted line.
• Type three tildes (~) and press Enter; you get a wavy single line.
• Type three pound signs (#) and press Enter; you get a heavy line bordered by two thin lines.

You find your text followed by a blank line and then by the line separator of your choice. Hit enter twice and start your next text paragraph and repeat the steps above.

You’ll find your document will have an organized look without unrelated paragraphs running into each other.
