Horizontal lines

Clause9 Styling
1

Hello everyone,

I have a question that should be actually easy to solve, but I can’t seem to find the answer, a function, a workaround or sth similar: I would like to insert one or two simple horizontal lines into docs to create a visual separation.
(We would like to separate a subtotal from the calculation above, as well as the subtotal from the grand total, and than want to close the calculation with two horizontal lines. Already tried by table settings, functions and other, but couldn’t get the style I wished.)

Thank you very much in advance!

Best

Hi Surena,

There is unfortunately no easy way of just including one or more horizontal lines somewhere in the document.

There are some imperfect workarounds, however, such as:

  • inserting a table with two rows with one cell each where the outside borders are disabled, resulting visually in a horizontal line
  • inserting underscores between quotes & curly brackets, e.g. {“______”} (but this is a really ‘dirty’ hack so I would not recommend it)

Is any of the above a suitable workaround?

My personal favourite is actually to use @rtab(10). This inserts a right-aligned tab at the end of the paragraph, which also has an underlined “leader”. From an MS Word perspective, I would consider that to be the cleanest option, and it happens to be easily available in Clause9 as well :slight_smile:
