In OOo 1.1 writer/HTML editor, a user clicks Insert -> Horizontal ruler -> 
Plain -> OK to insert a plain horizontal ruler in the document. To change it's 
color, line style, width etc a user needs to click Format -> Paragraph -> 
Borders and then select the relevant options from there.

This approach assumes that -
Plain Horizontal Line = Paragraph Border (??!!)

This kind of assumption is really confusing for a new user.

Here are few suggestions to improve it -
(1) A Horizontal Line = Horizontal Line, whether it is a plain or graphical. 
Don't assume Plain Horizontal Line = Paragraph Border [You will do a lot of 
favor to New users  :-)  ]

(2) A Plain Horizontal Line should be selectable with left mouse click, as is 
the case with graphical line.

(3) On right clicking a plain horizontal line, a context menu should open and 
from there a user should be able to select the desired options.

It *IS* the approach, which HTML editor front page uses. Can OOo writer/HTML 
Editor users have the same User Interface?
