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.
- 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.
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
Sorry, I misinterpreted your screen shot. So you are saying that there is an extra submenu that you are required to click to reach the settings for Weight? I don't know what would cause this to happen.
