Drawing and editing lines
PagePlus provides Pencil, Straight Line, and Pen tools for drawing freehand,
straight, and curved/straight lines, respectively.
The Pencil Tool lets you sketch curved lines and
shapes in a freeform way.
The Straight Line Tool
is for drawing straight lines
(for example, drawn in the column gutter to separate
columns); rules at the top and/or bottom of the page; or
horizontal lines to separate sections or highlight headlines.
The Pen Tool
lets you join a series of line segments
(which may be curved or straight) using "connect the dots"
mouse clicks.
Drawing lines
To draw a freeform line (with the Pencil Tool):
1. Choose the Pencil Tool from the Tools toolbar's Line flyout.
2. Click where you want the line to start, and hold the mouse button
down as you draw. The line appears immediately and follows your
mouse movements.
3. To end the line, release the mouse button. The line will automatically
smooth out.
