How to make lines like in children's writing paper on MS Word?

[Anonymous]

I am in graduate school and have to write a paper for class. I want to give some examples using lines you might find in paper used in the primary grades (with an upper bold line, a middle dotted line and a bottom bold line). Can this be done in MS Word and if so, how? Thanks!

I'd probably put in a table with one column and multiple rows and then put borders with different line styles in it. That should give you the most flexibility for spacing and line formats.

Better done in excell...select to view page print lines so you kniw hiw many colums to span, then use the borders they offer to mark up the rows. You can also adjust the rows to the height you want...

Much easier this way

Pp here...if you need to put it in word, do ut in Excell until it's "pretty" , then copy and paste into Word.

Try this site. I teach Pre-K and find it incredibly useful. You just download the paper templates and then print them out. Scroll down and click on "penmanship paper." You can add the examples to your paper as an addendum.

If that site doesn't work for you, just google "free download primary writing paper."

There is already a template in Word for this. Open a new project and click around the templates til you find it.

Draw the line and put a P (paragraph return) for the large space between the lines, then copy and paste. You can group if you don't want to copy and paste so many times.

Former teacher here.... this site is awesome. Thanks for posting. It is always nice to find something very useful on this site. Too often, the threads are filled with attacks and name calling. Thanks, PP.

Lots of great work arounds here, but you can also just download a font with the letters on lines. If you type of a bunch of spaces you'll get lines without anything on them.

If you scroll down to Penmanship Prints on this page, you'll see a pretty common primary grade font, but you can also find specific fonts for specific handwriting curricula.
