      Indeed.  Next try to format the line to make it thicker…there was a time when inserting a stupid horizontal line was a simple matter

      • Jon

        Right click the horizontal line, then choose Format Horizontal Line.
        It’s actually a pretty straightforward feature, but ms should have made it more prominent, since many users use something ugly like underlining if the horizontal rule option isn’t easy to find
