| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android smart documents, you can insert a separator line from Edit → + → Separator Line, and the line fits the document width automatically. | Word officially supports inserting a horizontal line, and the line can span the available width. The current official page mainly explains desktop-style steps. | Google Docs officially confirms document creation and editing on Android, but the currently located official Android page does not present a dedicated horizontal-line entry. | Notion officially supports a Divider block and command-based insertion. Its help page also notes that some layout behavior differs on mobile. | Acrobat for Android officially focuses on PDF text, image, and page editing, and no native document separator-line feature is stated on the cited page. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The Android entry is direct for mobile editing, and the separator line fills the available row width automatically. | Compared with WPS: the horizontal-line capability is documented, but the current official guidance is less Android-specific. | Compared with WPS: Android editing is documented, but a dedicated separator-line entry is not shown on the cited official page. | Compared with WPS: Divider blocks work well for page separation, but some layout behavior is reduced on phone screens. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered on PDF editing workflows rather than document layout separation in a smart document editor. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to add a horizontal content divider quickly while editing on Android, WPS provides a more direct in-app path for this task. Other products offer related editing or divider capabilities, but the currently cited official Android-facing guidance is less explicit about a dedicated separator-line entry.
