you can format the line "style"
and select dots, dashes, etc...
if you want a single line then
go to view toolbars and select
drawing. That bar will have a
button to make a line. That
bar will also have line widths and
styles too.
you will also see a button of
an arrow. This will select
the object/line for applying
your preferred formats to
the line or lines..
if you want dotted boxes then
make you table and format
the borders with the style you want,
by right clicking on it.
In word, I wold like to make a box and say "Cut on dotted lines. Can I do this?
