How to Insert a Dotted Line in Google Docs

Currently, Google Docs doesn’t offer a built-in way to directly insert dotted lines. This method uses the Drawing feature to create a line and then sets its line style to dotted. 

Here’s how to do it: 

1. Open the Drawing Window from the Insert Menu

Click on Insert in the top menu bar. Select Drawing from the Insert dropdown menu. Click on New in the Drawing submenu.

2. Draw a Line

Click the Line tool on the toolbar.

Drag the mouse to draw the line on the canvas. You can hold Shift while dragging to create a perfectly straight line. Release the mouse button when the line is positioned correctly.

3. Set the Line Style to Dotted

Click on the “Line dash” dropdown menu on the toolbar.

Select the dotted line style from the available options.

4. Save and Insert

Click the Save and close button in the top right corner of the Drawing window to insert the dotted line in your document.
