I was going to suggest that the easiest way is to drag the line from the palette to where you want it in the design pane, position and size it (either by right clicking, using the formatting tools window, setting the properties, or visually dragging it around...so many chocies), and then go into the Properties pane under "Graphic Properties", select the "Pen" property and set the Line width, Line Style, and Line color to the values you want. Specifically, there are line styles that can create a solid line, a double line, a dashed line, and a dotted line. Carl Helped me, Thanks a bunch, micky
