Header-Macro-Word 2003 Pepper 12/5/2008 1:27:01 PM I have created (by recording) macros to insert Headers into new documents. There are nine altogether. Each Header has a different logo (Inserted as a jpg), appropriate text is typed, etc. My problem is drawing a line, that starts at a given point on the ruler (assume 2.25 inches) and is terminated at a point somewhere to the right (assume 5.5 inches). I obviously can not use the mouse to draw the line, and am at a loss to figure out how to accomplish this. Guidance will be greatly appreciated. Pepper

Re: Header-Macro-Word 2003 "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 12/5/2008 3:27:47 PM If the line is to go from margin to margin, use an underline in the paragraph formatting. If you need it to be narrower or wider, then add or subtract paragraph indent to either side. You could also use a Tab Leader. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Pepper" <Pepper[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E94DC653-1D6D-42F8-80CA-F2299D9AC167[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Header-Macro-Word 2003 "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 12/5/2008 4:28:10 PM May I respectfully suggest that this is a crazy way to create new documents? Instead of using a macro, you should create a template for each specific type of document, each template containing the appropriate header. Lines below headers are usually created using paragraph borders rather than drawing lines. Although my article at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CreateATemplatePart1.htm is at present being substantially revised, the current version may provide some help.

Re: Header-Macro-Word 2003 Pepper 12/5/2008 7:46:02 PM Thank you for reinforcing what I had told our Executive VP. I said basically the same thing, only didnt use the word crazy, and showed her your response, to no avail. My instructions are - "Make it happen". Is there a way to get a line partially across the Header, not a bottom border, and the center (vertically) while in the Macro recorder. "Suzanne S.

Re: Header-Macro-Word 2003 Pepper 12/6/2008 12:23:01 AM As much as I agree with your assessment of doing this, I thank you for saving me a lot of aggravation with the big guy. "Suzanne S.
