Drawing and editing lines
The Tools toolbar 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. See PagePlus Help for
more details.
The Pen Tool lets you join a series of line
segments (which may be curved or straight) using
"connect the dots" mouse clicks. See PagePlus Help
for more details.
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.
Any curved line can be closed (by joining line ends) to create a
custom shape (see Drawing and editing shapes on p. 132 for
details).
Editing lines
Use the Pointer Tool in conjunction with the context toolbar to adjust
lines once you've drawn them. The techniques are the same whether
you're editing a separate line object or the outline of a closed shape.
