Hi :) There are quite a few recent threads about this that might be worth exploring http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/nabble-mailing-list-interface/
I think it's easier to just try these 3 ways of getting a solid line all the way across the document. Just do 3 characters of either - ~ or = like this 1. --- 2. ~~~ 3. === Each produces a different type of line and one of them might not be what you would expect. I think you can "undo" (Ctrl z) if you don't like one of them. Then you can try another. Also it is possible to create any sort of fancy line you like in Draw and then paste that into Writer. That way gives you much more flexibility as well as freedom to design. It's a bit of a pain the thing has vanished from the menu. There seem to have been a few things like that lately. Hopefully there is a plan to do a better, more elegant implementation fairly soon but until then we just have to figure out work-arounds. A lot of the code is still based on very ancient code and getting LibreOffice smoother, faster and more modern might well involve shaking things up a bit from time-to-time. Many people stick with older versions "for production use" because then they get less surprises. On the other hand they also miss out on interesting innovations and the improving compatibility with the ever-changing MS formats. So, a lot of people get more recent versions of LO asap in order to test-drive the newer versions alongside their "production version". I usually have one machine that i upgrade a lot more often but then leave all my colleagues on an older version. Apols and regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: April Preston <[email protected]> >To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> >Sent: Friday, 5 July 2013, 3:47 >Subject: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice Writer 4.- Where's my horizontal >line? > > >Hello, > >My question may seem trivial but I am looking for the horizontal line that I >had in the 3.6 version but cannot find in the 4. version.

So if I want my horizontal line in the header back must I uninstall LibreOffice 4 and reinstall 3.6 or is it hidden somewhere? > >Thanks much, > > >April Preston >-- >To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] >Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ >Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette >List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ >All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted > > > -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
