Macros for Drawing Objects

[Amy]

I'm trying to record a macro that will place three vertical lines in a
certain distance from each other on a document. I want to be able to run
this macro after text has already been typed into a document. These lines
also need to appear on every page in the document. I'm having a lot of
trouble being restricted to only use key board functions to draw a straight
line down the page and place it where I want it. Any suggestions on how I
might create this macro? Please help!!!

Hi =?Utf-8?B?QW15?=,

I'm trying to record a macro that will place three vertical lines in a
certain distance from each other on a document. I want to be able to run
this macro after text has already been typed into a document. These lines
also need to appear on every page in the document. I'm having a lot of
trouble being restricted to only use key board functions to draw a straight
line down the page and place it where I want it.

Can you give us more information about the size and placement of the lines you
need? Since the Drawing tools aren't part of Word, but just "plugged in", the
macro recorder doesn't integrate with them very well. So, mostly, "macros" for
Drawing object need to be programmed (written out).
