Headers in your Microsoft Word document lets you add text to the top of each page of a business document. Although this text appears on each page, you have to enter it only once; the edits are propagated to all pages. This header is separated by a space, but for a more obvious segregation or to spice up the header a little, you can add a graphical line.
Double-click the Word header to enter Editing mode.
Click the end of a line and press "Enter" if you need a blank line on which to add your graphic.
Click the "Insert" tab and click "Shapes" from the Illustrations group.
Click a line format from the Line group. For a generic line, select the first option.
Click and drag the line wherever you want the line to appear. To draw a horizontal, vertical or 45-degree line, hold the "Shift" key while dragging. The line appears when you release the mouse button. If you make a mistake, press "Ctrl-Z" and try again.
Double-click body of the document to exit header Editing mode.
- To delete a previously created line, move your mouse over the line until the pointer turns into a "+" sign with four arrows, click the line and press "Delete."
