On the slide master, it says "between the title box and the main text bod,
draw a horizontal line across the entire width of the slide.  Change the line
weight to 3-point and  the line color to light yellow.

> Yes, your right it was a homework problem!  I e-mailed the same question  to my instructor.  I was building a powerpoint and that was one of the things it told me to do in the instructions.  It was not  covered in my "Microsoft  Micromputer class." I figured  after an hour to try and get some help, if not from source then where can one get help.  After signing off, I decided to try again and I got it!  Maybe I was just tired of trying.  Its a good thing your not an instructor, most of the ones I know are more than willing to help when a student has a question.  No one asked you to do the assignment.  This was a mistake to ask in the first place I would never do it again.  Does microsoft know you answer your questions like that?  Thanks for __________!

Terri, this is not a Microsoft controlled web site or newsgroup.  It is only
sponsored by them.  The people that post here are normally not employees of
MS.

Michael was correct.  We don't answer questions concerning homework here
because you, and others, would not really learn how to use the system that
MS has provided.  It is called Help and is accessed in most programs by
pressing the F1 key or clicking on the help tab at the top of the program.
Now, I started PPT 2003 and typed lines and got all the help that would be
possible to get on the subject.

All software use is a learning process.

> I did choose  "Help" it had no answer to my question, then directed me to this site.  I thought why not, maybe someone there knows what I am talking about.  As I mentioned I found out how to do it by trial and error.  Not from this site, or from  "HELP," this site was a only a resource, which is useless.  By the way what kind of site is this?  What kind of questions, can you, and do you answer?  It came from Microsoft office website, I assumed it was there to help people, at any level of learning.  What does it make any difference if I am a student or a  person who bought the program and was using a home self study guide?  Or is the answer unknown to the people answering from this site, and it's just as easy to say we don't  do homework questions?  Lots of Laughs people, have a great day, and a wonderful weekend,  I am off to class!

I suppose if you would have asked the question in a manner other than the
way you did, you more than likely would have received a proper reply. If you
look at your question and think about it should be quite simple, with the
key word being "Master" drawing a line and changing it's weight is quite
simple.

Yes Microsoft does monitor these replies.

Sure sounds like a homework question. We don't do homework, but if you're
stuck on something specific, we might be able to help.

So what exactly is it you're having problems with?

> I ask a specific question.  Yes, it was a homework question,  does it matter who you help, or what you help someone learn today.  I was building a powerpoint that was an assignment with many things that I was to do to the powerpoint.  I only asked for help with one thing.  Being the good student I am I use every resource avilable to me.  I will copy these posting and show them to my instructor and the class, I am sure everyone could use a good laugh.  You guys really are funny, if you need the answer to my question let me know, maybe I can teach you something today.  Thank you, have a good day!  Shoot, it wouldn't let me copy this but I did take pictures of it with my digital camera, I'll copy and paste it together in a word program!

Seems you missed this part of my reply:

When you just type in your homework question, acting as if you expect us to
complete the answer...well, that's not gonna happen. Tell us what part you
really need help with, and we're happy to try.

Be sure to review your question -asking procedures with the class while
you're laughing at the replies.
