In MS Word, there is special command in Home -> Paragraph -> Borders dropdown -> Horizontal Line, which inserts special drawing similar to 3D horizontal line in a paragraph. Such line should be exported to <hr> tag during HTML export, and respectively <hr> tag should be imported as Horizontal Line. Note: the representation of the horizontal line in the docx document is as follows: <w:pict> <v:rect id="_x0000_i1027" style="width:0;height:1.5pt" o:hralign="center" o:hrstd="t" o:hr="t" fillcolor="#a0a0a0" stroked="f"/> </w:pict> Workaround: Currently, you can add a horizontal line using a table with a single border. Here is some code demonstrating how to do this: ---------------------------------------------------------- var document = new RadDocument(); var editor = new RadDocumentEditor(document); Table table = new Table(); var topBorder = new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.Border(1, BorderStyle.Single, Colors.Red); var borders = new TableBorders(table.Borders.Left, topBorder, table.Borders.Right, table.Borders.Bottom); table.Borders = borders; var row = new TableRow(); var dummyCell = new TableCell(); var dummyParagraph = new Paragraph(); dummyParagraph.FontSize = 0; dummyParagraph.LineSpacing = 0; dummyParagraph.SpacingAfter = 0; dummyParagraph.SpacingBefore = 0; dummyCell.Blocks.Add(dummyParagraph); row.Cells.Add(dummyCell); table.Rows.Add(row); editor.InsertTable(table, shouldInsertParagraphBeforeTable: true); this.radRichTextBox.Document = document; ----------------------------------------------------
