While working with a Word Template I ran across this term, "PullQuote". It
refers to accenting a portion of the text in an article by pulling it out and
placing it elsewhere enclosed with a line above and below it.

Other than the obvious of inserting a line typing the text and inserting
another line how is this done. It seems to be a macro of some sort but I cant
find anything about it.


At the appropriate place, use Insert > Text Box and draw a box of the
desired size. Paste or type the pulled text into the box. Apply a
style to change its font appearance if you want.

Right-click the edge of the box and choose Format Text Box. On the
Colors and Lines tab, set the line color to "No Line". (The text box
itself can have either a complete line around it or none, but not just
top and bottom -- we'll fix that later.) On the Layout tab, select
Square to make the regular text wrap around the text box.

Now click in the pulled text. Select Format > Borders and Shading.
Make sure the "Apply To" box is set to Paragraph. Click the top and
bottom lines of the preview to turn them on, and choose the line
weight and style you like.

In Word 2007, all of this is more automated, as you can select from
about a dozen preformatted pull quote boxes or create your own.
