19 19 The line that is inserted between columns will appear along the length of the longest column in the document. Vertical lines are defaulted to the center area between columns.

20 20 To control the length of the vertical line that is inserted between columns, use the line option found under the Shapers Command, to create the vertical line. CAUTION! Vertical lines that are created with the Shapes Community will NOT automatically fit on the column length changes. Inserting a vertical line between columns can add visual appeal to the document!
