The first and easiest way, you can create a line with the autoformat feature in Microsoft Word. Here are the steps:

  1. Open Microsoft Word;
  2. Select the section you want to fill with lines;
  3. Type three minus signs ( – – – ) without spaces in sequence, then press enter'
  4. Automatically, the three minus signs will become horizontal lines.

However, you can use other combinations such as three equal signs ( = = = ) for a double line, three underscores ( _ _ ) for a thick line, three asterisks ( * * * ) for a dotted line with a pattern, and three hash marks ( # # # ) for a line containing a combination of thick and thin.
