= SUMMARY =

In the Microsoft Works version 1.00 and 1.11 draw layer, you can draw a line longer than one screen, as follows:


 * 1) From the Edit menu, choose Draw On.
 * 2) Draw a line down the screen.
 * 3) From the Edit menu, choose Draw Off.
 * 4) From the Edit menu, choose Select Picture.
 * 5) Scroll the screen down with the vertical-scroll bar.
 * 6) Approach the line from below with the cursor (the cursor should turn into a crosshair).
 * 7) Click and drag the line down.
 * 8) Repeat steps 5 through 7 until the line is the proper length.

Works version 2.00 and 3.00 do not have a Select Picture command. However, the following procedure will achieve the same results:


 * 1) From the Edit menu, choose Draw On.
 * 2) Draw a line down the screen.
 * 3) From the Edit menu, choose Draw Off.
 * 4) Press the RETURN key approximately 10 to 15 times. This will insert 10 to 15 paragraph returns and move the button of the scroll bar down.
 * 5) Select the scroll button with the mouse, hold down mouse button, and scroll down the document.
 * 6) From the Edit menu, choose Draw On.
 * 7) Using the mouse, select the arrow tool from the Tools palette.
 * 8) Select the line with the arrow so that a small black box appears at the end of the line.
 * 9) Place the arrow on the black box, hold down the mouse button, and drag the black box to the desired location.

The line will now be longer than one screen.
