Discussion

You can draw a line on a form or report. Lines can enhance forms and reports by separating particular areas. For example, you can add a line to a report that separates groups of information.

When you use the Line button, the mouse pointer changes into a slanted line with a plus sign (+) above and to the left of it. As you drag to draw the line, a line extends from the center of the plus sign (+).
