Hi folks!
Just trying to find a way to add a single line to the bottom of a
paragraph style. Haven't found a way to achieve this.
The line should go from left to right over the complete line length or
text frame width. Optimum would be if I could define the distance from
text to line.
Is there a way to make such a thing?
Hi Rolf,
Here is a rather clumsy workaround that I figured out, and I have to
say, it's not very intuitive how to do this. Admittedly, it's a rather
manual operation.
Once you have your text line length settled, create a horizontal line of
the right thickness and width. Now, right-click on the line and select
Send to > Inline Items.
Now proceed with your text and either as you go, or after your text is
finished, double-click inside the frame on the line where you wish the
line to be placed. From the menu, click Windows > Inline Items. A small
window appears which should have your "inline line" in it. Right-click
on the item, and choose Paste to Item, and your line will be inserted
into the text frame. You may need to select Center justification for
this line.
A variant of this which you might find more efficient would be to create
your inline item, paste it once into your frame, changing justification
as needed, then end Edit Contents Mode, and open Story Editor. There you
will see an "@" symbol where this inline item has been placed. Highlight
this "@", press Ctrl+C (to copy), then move down your text to the next
line where you want your line to be placed (adding lines as needed), and
press Ctrl+V to paste to that line. You can then efficiently move
through your text, and even switch to other text frames, open Story
Editor, and paste in these as well.
One thing which editing a Paragraph Style may be helpful for is in
adjusting the space between paragraphs, realizing that this inline item
will itself be a paragraph.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you're not following this process.

Thank you for that idea, Greg,
It seems it only works in 1.5.7, not in the older 1.4.6 version. But it
has the advantage that I can better control the thickness of the lines.
Is it possible that the way PDFs are made on my system does not allow
for line thickness < 0.3 mm? At least it seems so.
The example I had (where I had the idea from) was a printed flyer from a
bank with tables which had these lines. They used a small font and very
fine lines which Scribus doesn't make and my printer does not print
although I think it should be able to.
As the width of the tables in my document is fixed it is ok to have a
fixed line length and save it like this.
Regards
Rolf
