Horizontal Lines : ---

Why doesn’t “—” create a horizontal line anymore? As well as “===” and the other variations?

After following the excellent steps given by LeroyG I discovered that I must also have AutoCorrect “While Typing” enabled.

Found in Tools - AutoCorrect, then in the context menu that opens, be sure “While Typing” is check-marked (enabled).

Choose Tools - AutoCorrect - AutoCorrect Options - Options tab and mark Apply border.

See more LibreOffice Help on Automatic lines in Writer.

Tested with LibreOffice 7.0.6.2 (x64); OS: Windows 10.0.
