With Protel open to a .ddb and Documents tab selected, choose New PCB Document, then select Wizards tab. This will allow you to generate a standard card in several formats. You'll want the AT card, either long or short. The Schematic symbol may be available, but I wasn't able to find it quickly.

Hello, 100 ohms is hard to get. For a simple microstrip, the height (distance to ground plane) has to be about 3 times the trace width (for fr4). One to one gives about 75 ohms. The easy one is 50 ohms, trace width about 2 times the height. Burieed lines will have even lower impedance. I
