Change the color, style, or weight of a line

You can change the look of a line shape by changing its color, line style, or weight. If you are using Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, Microsoft Office Word 2007, or Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, you can apply a Quick Style to quickly change the look of your line. If you are using Microsoft Office Publisher 2007, you can manually customize the color, style, or weight of your line.
What do you want to do?

Add a Quick Style to a line

 Important   Quick Styles are available only in these 2007 Microsoft Office system programs: Excel, Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint.
Quick Styles for lines include theme colors from the document theme, shadows, line styles, gradients, and three-dimensional (3-D) perspectives. Try different Quick Styles until you find one that you like. When you place your pointer over a Quick Style thumbnail, you can see how the Quick Style affects your line.
