Line dialog box

These dialog box options apply formatting settings such as pattern, weight, color, ends, and corner rounding to lines and arcs in a selected shape.

Pattern

From the list, select none, solid lines, dashed lines, or a mixed pattern.

Weight

From the list, select the line thickness you want, or specify a custom line thickness.

To add a new color to the color palette, click More Colors, and then, in the Colors dialog box, define the new color.
