Switched to word '21 - Line thickness not available ?
Hello all !
I switched to office 2021 professional plus and I noticed that the easy way to make lines thicker is not available anymore ? Is this a settings that I have to set ?
In older Word you can directly select line thicknes..
Attached picture, it is in Dutch but you will get it.
Thanks !
Are you seeing this in a particular document or can you reproduce it in any Word document which contains a shape?
If the issue appears to happen with just some documents, consider sharing a sample document with the forum.

The exact command on the ribbon will depend on if you are dealing with the border of an image or with a shape.
For example, if you have selected a shape, you can access the widths via Shape Format > Shape Outline > Weight. See screen shot below.
Hello Stefan,
That is exact the problem I am having, as you can see in my screenshot : the shape outline is grayed out..
I still can press "shape outline", then I have to select "more lines" then I can select the weight..
Normally it should show the weight like in your example

- I am not sure what you mean by the "easy way". However, I do not believe that there has been any change in the application in that respect.
