I understand you mean a "line". For this, you have to do it manually. If I may give you a few little hints for laying out your project, make a full-size dummy and draw your margins, take note of the measures, column width, column gaps, etc. That way, you'll be able to position accurately your guides using the Guide manager and then your objects on the page. It may take a little while at first but it will save you lots of time on the long run. (For example, how do you tell precisely where to draw that line between 2 columns? If you have a 3-column layout, you have room for 2 lines and you can create a guide just for that.) Plus, your layout will be consistent. Then you can take time to establish your Paragraph Styles... Line Styles, etc. > > 2. How do I box in a head or subhead with rules? Properties > Lines First, you can go to Edit > Line Styles and create a few styles for lines that you will apply to the text frame through the Properties palette. Changes are a breeze when using this feature. Thicker? Thinner? Your choice! > > 3. Is the story editor that thing I get when I right click on a > text box and choose "edit text"? Yes.
