I don't think the line will be visible to a screen reader, because it is a
border. I'm not sure if you put the cursor at the begtinnning of the line
and check the margin position with alt-delete, and then if you right arrow
once you might hear the cursor position at the end of that line.

Go to the line in question and twice quickly do a say line command. That
should work if it is a line of dashes.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Drawing Lines Across Page
Dear Steve and Friends,
I followed your instructions, and they make perfect sense to me, I have
seen
the same thing somewhere else.
But JAWS does not say anything when it gets to the lines I drew, so I do
not
really know if the lines are there or not!
Thanks for any comments!
With Best Regards,

Sorry, I didn't save the original message, but this subject hopefully
will
attract the right person.
You didn't say, or I don't recall which version of Word you are using.
There are I think four types of horizontal lines that you can draw across
a page, these are known as horizontal rules. All of them are initiated
by
typing
the appropriate symbol three times and then immediately pressing enter.
A regular horizontal line is dash.
A bold horizontal line is underscore (shift of the dash).
A double-line is equals.
A line of asterisks is with the asterisk key.
Note:
Depending on which version of Word you use, you may need to make sure the
borders checkbox is checked in Word Options. In MsWord 2007, you will
find the
checkbox by going to Word Options, Proofing, Auto-Correct options, and
Auto-correct as you Type.
Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
