Re: [libreoffice-users] Making horizontal lines in Writer

My preferred way to insert horizontal lines is to insert a right tab after
the explanatory text, format the tab with a bottom border, and move it to
the place I want the line to end. The tab position and formatting hold for
subsequent paragraphs, so you can make as many new lines as you need. When
you need to change the tab position, you can do so freely. You also can
insert as many right tabs on a line as you need.

I haven't tested it, but I believe tab formatting and position is preserved
when exporting to word.
