How to make Bold-Line Paper
1. Create a new Word document and give it a name such as Sample-11 (the size that Lucia and other students have used).
2. From the File menu select Page Setup.
a. On the Margins tab type 0.3 for Top, Bottom, Left and Right margins.
b. Set both Header and Footer to 0.
c. If you get an error message saying that your printer can’t use one or more of the margins specified, allow the program to substitute the minimum margins that your printer can provide.
3. At the top of the document insert a table.
a. From the Table menu select Insert table.
b. In the dialog that opens set Columns to 1, set Rows to 4.
c. With your cursor anywhere in the table, go to the Table menu and choose Select Table.
d. Go to the Format menu and select Font.
e. In the Font dialog go to Size and type in 42, then click OK.
f. With the table still selected, go to the Format menu and choose Borders and Shading.
g. On the Borders tab, go to the Style area and click on 2-1/4 pt.
h. In the picture in the Border area click near its top and it will show a 2-1/4 point horizontal border. Do the same near the bottom and a second horizontal line will appear. Finally, click near the picture’s center and a third horizontal line will appear. Click OK to apply the lines to the table.
i. The final task is to add just enough rows to fit on one page. Click anywhere in the table and select Print Preview from the File menu.
j. Go to the Table menu and choose Insert Rows. Repeat this (or use the shortcut Control plus Y) until the page is filled with lines. If the display goes to 2 pages you can select Undo from the Edit menu to reduce it back to one page.
4. To create other sizes, vary the font size and line thickness as follows:

Font = 18 point
