Outlook Horizontal Line is not a full line and is inserted centered- office build 1912

               

Outlook Horizontal Line is not a full line and is inserted centered in the body of the email.  First noticed on Version 1912 Build 1235.20288.  Looking for a fix.  Anybody else seeing this issue?

Yes, I'm experiencing the same issue and it's driving me crazy.  Why on earth does a full-width horizontal line that has worked fine for as long as I can remember have to suddenly start appearing shortened and centered?  What kind of testing is Microsoft doing these days when it rolls out mandatory updates to Office that we have no way of opting out of?  

Microsoft, this is INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING.  Please fix this ASAP.

Hello Microsoft,

Indeed, the problem is solved in this new version.

Thanks for the fast solution!

Hi All,

For the Outlook inserting Horizontal Line not fully displayed, it is a known issue of Outlook with build 1912. The Microsoft Dedicated Outlook teams are aware of and investigating this problem. However, they may need some more time to analysis and fix this problem in the future release.

We do understand this problem would affect your daily work and life, so here are some temparary workarounds for this problem.

First one, this problem occured with Outlook 1912 builds, you can try to rever the Outlook version to 1911 and then see if the problem disappears.  For more details, please refer to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2770432/how-to-revert-to-an-earlier-version-of-office-2013-or-office-2016-clic. Or open the Command Prompt and run the following commands one by one

cd %programfiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun  (Press Enter)

officec2rclient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.12228.20332  (Press Enter)

  after that wait for the Office updates to revert back to 1911 build, thanks.

Another one if you don't want to revert back to an old version of Outlook, when you tried to insert Horizontal Line, you could try to type ------ then press Enter key as a workaround, thanks.

We will help monitor this problem and if anyone encontered this problem, please subscribe this thread and wait for the future release with some more patience, thanks.

All your understanding and patience will be highly appreicated.

Best Regards,

Oliver

I have a problem with regards to the horizontal line as well.  All of a sudden it is short and centered.  Prior to that it was a left justify and went across the page which was perfect for me.  I use this feature on a lot of my Outlook email messages to separate comments and such.

This only started after the current update.

After reading all the problems people are having the only work around I could come up with was hitting the "-" (dash) key three times and then hit the Enter key. 

It will have to suffice I guess but I wish MS would leave some things well enough alone.  Or, as the old adage goes; "if it ain't broke; don't fix it"!  Or, if you want to change things, leave a way to keep what has worked in the past.

Hi Anna,

I hope you are well.

We - as a collective of Microsoft's customers - kindly ask that you address this issue as a matter of urgency!

Although many may consider this a minimal issue, this drastically affects the display of the confidentiality notice in my company email signatures.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Josh
