Instructions for drawing broken lines on Word
Step 1:
Users open Word documents and click on Shapes in the toolbar. Displays a list of drawing groups with different types of drawings. We click on the Line drawing line on Word.
Step 2:
Next we click at the location where we want to draw the dashed line, press and hold the mouse pointer and press Shift to draw the line. Pressing the Shift key restricts the deviation when drawing lines on Word.
Step 3:
After we have a straight line, we click on the line and then click on Format , select Shape Outline to edit the line. In the interface as shown below, we click on Dashes to see different types of dotted lines. Here you select the type of break stroke you want to use.
The result you have is the dashed line as shown below.
Step 4:
Next, the user will select the stroke density by clicking on Weight in the Shape Outline. There are many different thicknesses for the dotted line for us to choose.
The break then changes in thickness and density according to the type we have chosen.
Step 5:
Then we can also choose the color for the stroke as we like. If you need to decorate the cover frame or decorate the document content, when adding colors, the break will be more prominent.
Step 6:
Next to the dotted line for the line or line, you can also create an arrow at the two ends by clicking on the Arrows section as shown below.
As a result, we will get the two ends of the dashed arrow as shown below.
After creating the dashed line, you can change the direction of the stroke by clicking on one of the first two points and then moving in the other direction to create a diagonal line type, for example.
In addition to clicking the Format tab above, we can also right click on the dashed line and select Format AutoShape .
Then also display the panel for drawings with the same items as above.
So creating a stroke on Word is as simple as when we draw a picture on Word. Creating a dash is just another way of customizing a straight line on Word. The settings for dashed strokes are similar to when we styled drawings on Word.
I wish you all success!
