I would like to have a vertical line in every page of a Mathcad worksheet. Will appreciate any help with creating such a template.

Thanks.

Which version of Mathcad are you using?

I am using Mathcad Prime 3.1

Where on the page do you want that line?

Must it be visible when printed (see black one below), or do you need just a 'guide' line (the green one)?

Like the black line (that I would like to see in the print version), and not the guide line. as the green one. I am using Mathcad Prime 3.1, but would be interested to know if this is possible in version of Mathcad.

Thanks.

I could be wrong, but I don't believe Prime has the guide lines (green).

I assume to get the black line Luc just made a text box with consecutive vertical bars.  This was my first choice, too.  However, if you use ALT+179 you get a taller vertical line and can eliminate the spaces so it's one continuous line (may need to adjust font size).  Note that in Prime you'll want to press SHIFT+ENTER between lines instead of a regular ENTER (new line in current paragraph vs. new paragraph).

The only other way to get a vertical line that I can think of would be to make and insert a picture.

Either method will require you to manually add the line to each new page of the Mathcad sheet.

You can also simply insert into your worksheet image of vertical line and then use this document as a template.

Thanks Vladimir. However, this does not work for documents running into multiple pages, unless the picture is physically inserted in each page. The need is something like a watermark, which will continue on every page.

Ok. I see.
