Doesn't work for this user's version of Word 97 - I must
need a patch that you have!
I'm using Word 97 SR-2.

text?
Click on the Borders tab. For Settings, select
None. Select the Style, Color and Width of the line you want. In the
preview area, click on the diagram to place the line where you want. That
way, you won't get a box, just a line.
