Just because you have Microsoft Word and Paint does not mean that you cannot make nice
looking dividers! This tutorial will show you how to make a decent striped outline
using some of the most simple and easy to use programs that pretty much everyone has on their
computer.
First of all, open up Microsoft Word. If Microsoft Word is not on your desktop, click on Start
on the bottom of your computer screen, then go to All Programs >> Microsoft Office >> Microsoft Word.
Now that Microsoft Word is open, go to the top bar on top of your computer screen. On that bar, you should
see that button that says Insert. Click on it and then choose "Picture" from the dropdown menu. After that, click on Autoshapes.
Now, from the list provided, choose a rectangle. Make the rectangle long and skinny, as shown below in the
screenshot.
You're halfway there! It's been easy so far, huh? ;) Here is the part is gets kind of tricky. Right click on the
rectangle. You should see "Format Autoshape". Click on that. Then, as shown in the screenshot below, find where it says
"Fill Effects". Click on that.
Click on the patterns tab on the top of the popup and choose a color that you like. Keep the other color white.
After that, pick the pattern you want. My selections are shown below.
Click OK, then OK again. You're practically done now! Right click, and copy the image. Then, open up Paint. If you do not know where it is,
go to the Start Button >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Paint. Once you have opened Paint, paste your image, and save it. Finally, you can
upload the image, and viola, you're all done! :D
