MS Word has a tool called Breaks which is a very handy option when it comes to breaking a section or applying page breaks. The additional space that gets embedded between sections gives a decent look to the document. However, it does not state the prominence or distinctiveness and appears more like a paragraph change.
Move the cursor to the beginning of your document—the absolute beginning. Move the cursor to “View;” hold down the mouse key, slide down to “ Header and Footer. The cursor will be in a box entitled Header. Move the cursor to the icon “ Switch between Header and Footer. I have inserted our Crestwood Logo, right justified. Next, we will look at how to add a Footer. Just follow the same steps to add a Footer as you did with adding your Header. Insert Footer Blank. Type in your Footer Information. Please note, you can add graphics, text, tables etc.
So, I consider using horizontal lines instead. As a result there is more visual aid and enhancement in reader understandability. In this context, we will tell you how to insert horizontal lines in your document. And we will discuss three ways of doing that.

Though we have mentioned MS Word as a pivot, let me assure you that the feature is supported on entire MS Office Suite.
Using Horizontal Line Tool
It initially took me some time to figure out that such a support existed on MS Word (and other MS Office tools). Follow the steps and choose a line that you like (there are the formal black and white ones and colorful and designer ones).
Step 1: Navigate to Page Layout -> Page Background and click on the icon for Page Borders.

Step 2: On the Borders and Shading dialog that appears, click on the button reading Horizontal Line (bottom left of the window).

Step 3: Choose a line and click on Ok to have it inserted at the current cursor position.
Step 4: If you are still not satisfied with the look and feel of the line, you can right-click on it and launch the formatting options.
Using Insert Shapes Tool
Though a lame way of accomplishing the task, I used this method till I figured out the above one. Truly speaking, sometimes it serves as a quicker option than what we discussed. Moreover, there is difference in the formatting options that come along.
To insert one, you need to navigate to the Insert tab -> Shapes and select line shape. Then drag the mouse over the required length and position of the document.
Using Keyboard Shortcuts
The above two methods are fundamentally easy and convenient to insert lines. But I am sure that the keyboard users are not yet satisfied. So, here’s the trick for all such people out there. Type three dashes, underscores, pounds, equals, tildes or asterisks and hit enter.
Bad news is that this trick works only on MS Word and MS Outlook.
Conclusion
Horizontal lines are not just about section breaks. You may have you own requirements. For example, adding vivid lines for separating header and footer (if you do not like what comes by default). Any other use you can think of? Or any other thing you have been practicing? Let us know in the comments section.
