### Line command

Use the Line command to draw horizontal and vertical lines anywhere on your report. You can use these lines to enclose field data or to create other graphic effects.

While you can create lines via the Border and Colors command, the lines you draw via the Line command, differ from those in several important ways:

- Border lines can not stand alone (they are always attached to a field or a picture) while graphic lines can stand alone.
- A border line is limited to a very small selection of sizes, while a graphic line can be any length or height you wish.
- A border line increases the height of the adjacent text line (taking up more space), while a graphic line does not.
- A border (field border) can not span multiple sections; whereas, a graphic line can.

Note: This command is also available as a button on the Standard toolbar.
