Hi,
I'm new to word and I have to insert a dotted line with a pair of scissors,
can somebody help me.

Thanks,
Danielle
 
In Publisher there's a border format for this. In Word, the best you can do
is insert a scissors character from Wingdings and finish out the line with
hyphens (or use a broken drawing line).

Danh,
I usually insert the scissor symbol at the beginning of the line (Insert -
symbol - choose wingdings - select scissors) then type my dotted line.
If you need a full line you can select the scissor symbol and lower it's
position using Format - Font - second tab - choose a lower position and hit
OK. It will look asif the scissor is cutting right on the line.
There is also a clipart available with a scissor cutting on a line, in the
clipart task pane, next to search for type scissors. You will find it there,
but be careful you can easily miss it as the thumbnail only seems to display
a line.

You can also make a decent job of it with the broken line drawing and
a scissor clipart. Make it look like you want and then group the line
and scissors and save the thing as an AutoText entry.
