Re: [libreoffice-users] Creating several horizontal lines with adjustable line length AND adjustable spacing between each line

A bit of a hack, but create a LibreOffice Draw document.

Change Page Properties to

Format: User

Width: 8.50" (or what works for you)

Height: 0.50 (or what works for you)

Orientation: Landscape

Click on "Insert Line" icon and add 5 lines of size needed.

<Ctl><A> and copy/paste to LibreOffice Writer.

Adjust to suite and repeat copy to LibreOffice Writer as many times as 
needed.

Hope this helps.
