Guide Mini tutorial: Creating rule line in MS-Word

Okay, i accidentally hit upon an interesting thing in MS-Word. Well, there is a quick shortcut for creating rule line/ horizontal line. Just hit any of these letters

1. ~ <tilde>
2. # <pound>
3. * <asterisk>
4. _ <underscore>
5. - <hyphen>
6. = <equal>

thrice followed by a return key. You'll get different types of rule line.

Code: 
[B]In short,[/B]
~~~<enter>
###<enter>
***<enter>
___<enter>
---<enter>
===<enter>
So far, i've figured out that there are only these six symbols which can generate the rule lines.

Also while trying the above I found one more shortcut for drawing a table

do a +-+ (plus minus plus) : creates single column table
do a ++-+ (plus plus minus plus) : creates two column table
do a +++-+ (plus plus plus minus plus) : creates three column table

you can put any number of plus for any number of columns :)

Holds good for +-+ or +=+ or +_+

Also found out that =rand(3) gives a different text in win 2007

On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. You can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document building blocks. When you create pictures, charts, or diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look.

You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document text by choosing a look for the selected text from the Quick Styles gallery on the Home tab. You can also format text directly by using the other controls on the Home tab. Most controls offer a choice of using the look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly.

To change the overall look of your document, choose new Theme elements on the Page Layout tab. To change the looks available in the Quick Style gallery, use the Change Current Quick Style Set command. Both the Themes gallery and the Quick Styles gallery provide reset commands so that you can always restore the look of your document to the original contained in your current template.
