How do I make a stars horizontal line?
How do I create this horizontal line?
*************************************** I want it to be stars, I know that you can type 3 dashes --- and hit enter and it will insert a horizontal line, but there's no built-in *** for a stars horizontal line. I want it so that if I type 3 stars *** it will then give me a stars line like *************************************** |

You could use an autocorrect entry, but unlike the hyphens, there is no built-in function to do that.
Maybe a macro would help? Code:
Sub Macro1() Dim orng As Range Set orng = Selection.Range Do orng.Text = orng.Text & "*" If orng.Characters.Last.Information(wdVerticalPositionRelativeToPage) > _ orng.Characters.First.Information(wdVerticalPositionRelativeToPage) Then Exit Do DoEvents Loop orng.Characters.Last.Delete orng.Collapse 0 orng.Select Set orng = Nothing End Sub

You could save an AutoText entry. It would not adjust to your margins or font size, though.
Here is a temporary link to a template with this with instructions.
Note, at some number of asterisks it will stop displaying the pop-up. In that situation, you will need to press F3. Automated Boilerplate Using Microsoft Word AutoText and AutoCorrect are very different functions. |
