I am creating some lesson handouts for a class I'm going to be
teaching. I have to email them to our secretary, who has to read
them in MS Office for printing. In the document I enter a short
text line, press Enter, then I type in three dashes, press Enter,
and waula, I have a horizontal line for the students to write their answers on.
This works fine as long as I stay in .odt format. But if I save the
document in .doc format, and then open the .doc file in
LibreOffice, some of the horizontal lines are missing.
My preferred way to insert horizontal lines is to insert a right tab
after the explanatory text, format the tab with a bottom border, and
move it to the place I want the line to end. The tab position and
formatting hold for subsequent paragraphs, so you can make as many
new lines as you need. When you need to change the tab position, you
can do so freely. You also can insert as many right tabs on a line as you need.
I haven't tested it, but I believe tab formatting and position is
preserved when exporting to [W]ord.
I have, and it is.
