Mellor

or uses borders and shading to insert a line below a section of text, in fact I think thats what happens when it converts

to a solid line. It is making it a border line

From my experience its ______ not

that converts it to a page break... I love the feature, makes the CV look a lot neater and easier to read.

Hold the shift key. And the key directly to the right of the 0 (zero) key. Make sure it is heavilly spell checked, and check it for gramar too !

or just draw a line..... view - toolbars - drawing should open the drawing toolbar if its not already open. Select the line tool and draw!!

if you want to add the line across the page, press enter once or twice at the end of your text, go to the line with the text on it, and press the borders and shading box (assuming you're using MS Word), select bottom border...see attached pic.

hope this helps
