3. Click New box.
4. In the Right position box, type select the vertical position of the line using the horizontal ruler as a guideline. For example, if the first column ends at 5" on the horizontal ruler, enter 5.2 in the Right position box.
5. In the Distance from top of section box, type or select the vertical distance from the top of the section.
6. In the Distance from bottom of section box, type or select the vertical distance from the bottom of the section to where you want the line to end.
