You can add horizontal lines, sometimes called horizontal rules, to a document or email message to help separate sections of text and add visual appeal. 

By default, Word and Outlook have a three-character shortcuts that inserts a full-width horizontal rule in your document or message. The appearance of that rule—thinner, thicker, double-line, dotted, wavy—depends on which shortcut you use, as illustrated in the image below. 

If this automatic line feature doesn’t suit you, you can turn off this feature in Word or turn it off in Outlook.

If you want to draw a line for illustration purposes, see Draw a line in Word or Outlook instead.

Insert a horizontal line by typing a few characters

The fastest way to add a horizontal line or rule is to use the AutoFormat feature. When you type certain characters three times in their own paragraph and then press Enter, those characters instantly become a full-width horizontal line.

  1. Place the cursor where you want to insert the horizontal line.

  2. Type three of the characters illustrated below, and then press Enter.

    The line is inserted for the full width of the page. When inserted into a column, the line is inserted to match the width of the column. To add text above the line, put your cursor where you want the text and begin typing.

Format the horizontal line after you create it

The shortcut described above creates an empty paragraph with a bottom border. You can change the look of that border line by using the Borders options:

  1. In Word, on the Home tab of the ribbon, select the down arrow next to The Borders button let you add or remove borders from the current selection. Borders.

  2. At the bottom of the menu, select Borders and Shading.

  3. In the dialog, you can change the line’s style (solid, dotted, wavy, double, and so on), color, or width as you see fit. 

  4. When you’re done formatting the line, select OK. Then, on the ribbon, select the  The Borders button lets you apply a border style to the current selection.Borders button to apply your changes.

Как добавить строку в таблицу Word

Microsoft Word обладает практически безграничным набором инструментов для работы с документами любого содержания, будь то текст, числовые данные, диаграммы или графика. Помимо этого в программе можно создавать и редактировать таблицы. Последнее нередко подразумевает увеличение размеров созданного объекта путем добавления в него строк. О том, как это сделать, расскажем сегодня.

Добавляем строки в таблицу в Ворде

Добавить новую строку или строки в таблицу можно несколькими способами. Все они предельно просты и могут быть выполнены буквально в несколько кликов мышкой. В качестве примера ниже используется приложение Word из пакета Microsoft Office 2016, но как в предыдущих, так и в более новых (подписки 365, 2019) версиях задача, озвученная в заголовке данной статьи, решается аналогичным образом.

Способ 1: Панель инструментов

После добавления в Ворд элементов, отличных от текста, на ленте (панель инструментов) появляются дополнительные вкладки. Так, группа «Работа с таблицами», которая становится активной непосредственно при выделении таблицы, поможет нам увеличить ее путем добавления новой строки (или строк)

  1. Кликните мышкой по той строке таблицы, над или под которой требуется добавить новую.
  2. таблица в Word

  3. После этого на ленте появится появится раздел «Работа с таблицами»,
    Работа с таблицами в Word

    в котором необходимо перейти во вкладку «Макет».

  4. Инструменты группы Строки и столбцы для добавления строки в таблицу в Microsoft Word

    Ориентируясь на представленные в группе «Строки и столбцы» инструменты, выберите, куда вы хотите добавить строку — ниже или выше выделенной. Нажмите на соответствующую кнопку — «Вставить сверху» или «Вставить снизу».

    Сразу же после этого в таблице появится еще одна строка.

    Добавленная строка в Word

    Вот таким образом можно добавить новую строку в начало, конец или произвольное место таблицы, созданной в Word, но это не единственный вариант.

Способ 2: Мини-панель и контекстное меню

Большинство инструментов, представленных во вкладке «Макет» и обеспечивающих возможность управления созданной в Ворде таблицей, есть и в контекстном меню, вызываемом на ней. Обратившись к ним, можно в том числе добавить новую строку.

  1. Поместите указатель курсора в ячейку той строки, над или под которой требуется добавить новую, после чего нажмите правую кнопку мышки (ПКМ). В открывшемся контекстном меню наведите указатель курсора на пункт «Вставить».
  2. Вызов контекстного меню для вставки строки в таблицу в Microsoft Word

  3. В подменю выберите «Вставить строки сверху» или «Вставить строки снизу», в зависимости от того, где вы хотите их добавить.
  4. Выбор варианта добавления новой строки в таблицу в Microsoft Word

  5. В обозначенном вами месте таблицы появится новая строка.
  6. Результат добавления новой строки в таблицу, созданную в Microsoft Word
    Возможно, вы обратили внимание на то, что вызываемое нажатием ПКМ меню содержит не только привычный список опций, но и дополнительную мини-панель, в которой представлены некоторые инструменты из ленты.
    Дополнительная мини-панель в контекстном меню таблицы в Microsoft Word
    Нажав на расположенную на ней кнопку «Вставка», вы откроете подменю, из которого можно добавить новую строку — за это отвечают опции «Вставить сверху» и «Вставить снизу».

Способ 3: Элемент управления вставкой

Рассмотренные выше решения по своей сути являются разной интерпретацией обращения к инструментам раздела «Строки и столбцы», представленным как на ленте (вкладка «Макет»), так и в контекстном меню. Добавить новую строку можно и не вызывая их, буквально в один клик.

  1. Наведите указатель курсора место пересечения вертикальной левой границы и границы строк, между которыми требуется добавить новую, или на верхнюю или нижнюю границу таблицы, если строку нужно вставить туда.
  2. Добавление строки в Word

  3. Появится небольшая кнопка с изображением знака «+» в круге, на которую и следует нажать для вставки новой строки.
  4. новая строка в Word

    Преимущества этого способа расширения таблицы мы уже обозначили — он интуитивно прост, понятен и, что более важно, мгновенно решает поставленную задачу.

Теперь вы знаете обо всех возможных вариантах добавления строк в таблицу, созданную в Microsoft Word. Несложно догадаться, что столбцы добавляются аналогичным образом, и ранее мы об этом уже писали.

There are several ways to do this:

  • A: Place the cursor just outside the table, then press ENTER.
  • B: Add buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar (and even assign keyboard short-cuts).
    The commands you need to add are called:

    • Insert Rows
    • Insert Rows Above
    • Insert Rows Below
  • C: When the cursor is inside the table, click the «Layout» tab to reveal the buttons
  • D: Right click inside the table, open the «Insert» sub-menu

I’m not sure this question is relevant, but if you click on the layout tab while your cursor is in the table, all those functions are there. They are also in the rightclick menu.

answered Sep 16, 2009 at 18:34

If you mean drawing a line to split a cell, you can still do this using Insert, Table, Draw Table. If this is an option you use a lot, you can add it to the Quick Access Toolbar from the right-click menu on the command.

Another tip, which might be relevant, is that when you are in the last cell of a table, pressing the Tab key will add another row.

Here’s how to add, remove, and customize the border lines in Microsoft Word tables.

How to Format Table Border Lines in Microsoft Word-Featured

Microsoft Word is an unavoidable productivity tool for a lot of people. But whether you’re a daily user or only need it for urgent editing, some common tasks can become confusing.

If you often work with tables, we’ll show you how to get a better hold on table border lines in Word.

Creating Tables in Microsoft Word

Depending on your choice, Microsoft Word lets you choose whether to customize your table or add it automatically. Each of these options has its own application and usefulness in various scenarios.

As expected, the automatic option offers limited initial control over your tables. But it’s useful if you want to get a table with several rows and columns working quickly.

The custom option comes in handy when you need to draft a more interactive table with personal twists.

Take Control of Your Table Border Lines

So you’ve created a Word document, then sorted and arranged your pages as needed. You’ve also inserted your tables, but now you want to get a hold on how their border lines come through. There are several ways you can do that.

First off, the property that controls table border lines is the Borders option at the top Ribbon of Word. You’ll see this option under the Table Design tab when you highlight a table, but it’s always on the Home tab as well.

On the ribbon, go to Home > Paragraph and click the arrow-down button on the Borders button. Then select your preferred border line.

Selecting borderline from the ribbon

An alternative method is to right-click on the table you’ve created and click the arrow-down icon on the Borders button. Just like when using the Ribbon, use this to select a preferred border line option.

Note that if you highlight the whole table, any border line option you select applies to the entire table.

Adding borderline by right-clicking on the table

To apply the border line effect to a particular part of the table, highlight just that portion. Then repeat the process above to format the border lines to your preference.

Adding Border Colors and Styling Border Lines

You can also control how your border lines come through by adding border colors and thinning or thickening the lines.

To do that, click the Borders button followed by Borders and Shading. Here, select Colors or Width to change those elements.

You can also change the styling of the border lines by scrolling through the Style option in the Borders and Shading window.

If you want to apply these styles to particular cells in your table, highlight them first. At the bottom-right corner of the Borders and Shading window, click the Apply to dropdown and select Cell.

Adding colors and styles to borderlines

To style each border line manually without highlighting cells, right-click on the table. Next, go to Border Styles and select your preferred border option.

Styling each borderline without highlighting cells

Merging and Splitting Cells

Another border control option is merging table cells. You can join two or more rows or columns by highlighting the ones you wish to join. Then, right-click on the table and click Merge Cells.

To split the merged cells into their default format, highlight the merged cells. Next, right-click on the table and click Split Cells.

Merging cells in tables

Taking Control of Border Lines Is Easy

Manipulating table border lines in Microsoft Word isn’t difficult. But you’ll need a sharp eye to make your tables more professional and good-looking.

Play around with some of the available options, and you’ll find a suitable border style for your document before long.

Click the “Layout” table under “Table Tools”. In the “Table” section of the “Layout” tab, click “View Gridlines”. The gridlines now display on the table. To turn off the gridlines for the table, simply select the table and click “View Gridlines” again.
