Horizontal lines are gone?

Post by keyosuke »

A minor problem for me is the lack of headrules. In microsoft word I could type a series of continuous hyphens and they would be made into a horizontal line when pressed enter afterward. I had one of these in my resume and tried to open it in Atlantis, only to notice it had vanished. I have attached my resume, which contains one such line at the top... then again, I got this from a friend so I'm not sure how he made the line. Might not be one of those hyphenated autogenerated ones, but it's not working for my Atlantis regardless. If anyone knows a way to make these lines besides pressing ------- all the way across the page, let me know .. :-)

Greetings--
This line does not show in your document because Atlantis does not support borders yet. This is scheduled for a future version. In the meantime, you have 2 ways to draw lines in Atlantis:

First, you can use the Atlantis Clip Library and insert any line from the "Images/Lines" subfolder. If you want double lines similar to the one found in your document, you can download the 3 pictures attached to this post and add them to your Clip Library "Images/Lines" subfolder.

You can also draw single lines by creating tabs with leaders. Here is how to proceed:
1. Click Format | Tabs...
2. Press "Add" and specify the tab/line length.
3. Select a leader/line type.
4. OK out of the Tabs dialog.
5. Press the Tab key on your keyboard.
Cheers
Robert
