Add a line

The Line element inserts a regular line in the math document (this is not a number line). Lines can be used singly or in multiples to highlight sections of the math document.

To Add This Design Element: Select Line from the drop-down list of Design Elements located on the main ribbon to insert a line below the currently selected element in the document.

Tip

Do you have the exercise sets in two columns across the page but you would like a line in one column across the page? If so, add a new One Column Section first and then add a line in the new section.

Change the line color

  1. Select Color in the left-hand options pane, and press the ellipsis button (...) to display the color selection dialog.

  2. Choose the color you like from the Basic or Web tabs.

  3. Click OK to save your choice and apply the new color.

Change the line width

  1. Select Line Width in the left-hand options pane.

  2. Type a new value in the input field, or use the up and down arrows. Valid range is 1 to 10.

Adjust the padding

This option sets the padding (extra white space) around the item in 100ths of an inch (25 = 1/4 inch, 40 = 1 cm).

  1. Select Padding in the left-hand options pane to display all of the sides that can be customized.

  2. Select a side (All, Left, Right, Top, Bottom) to change the value for that side.

  3. Type a new value in the input field, or use the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the value. Valid range: 0 to 100.

Tip

Change only All to update the four sides to the same value. If All shows -1, one or more of the sides has a different value.
