Change the properties of a horizontal rule

You can customize the height, width, and shading applied to a horizontal rule on a page. By default, a horizontal rule in Contribute is 3 pixels high, expands to the width of the page or table cell in which it is inserted, and has a small drop shadow (or shading) applied.

For information about adding or deleting horizontal rules, see Add or delete a horizontal rule.

  1. In your draft, click the horizontal rule to select it, and do one of the following:

    • Select Format > Horizontal Rule Properties.

    • Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the horizontal rule, and then select Properties.

    The Horizontal Rule Properties dialog box appears.


  2. Change options as necessary.

    For information about the options, see Completing the Horizontal Rule Properties dialog box.

  3. Click OK.

    Contribute changes the horizontal rule properties.
