About This Feature

Overview

Separator Line is a layout feature in WPS Office for Mac smart documents. It inserts a horizontal divider into a document to improve structure and readability.

Its main capabilities include:

Insert a separator line from the Insert menu for standard editing.
Insert a separator line with a slash command or by typing --- for faster writing workflows.
Insert a separator line from the + paragraph handle on the left side of a paragraph.
Remove a separator line with Delete or Backspace when you need to clean up the layout.

This feature works well for section breaks, content grouping, and long-document organization. The separator line spans the document width automatically, which helps create a clearer visual hierarchy.

Capability Summary	In smart documents, WPS supports inserting a separator line from the Insert menu, slash command, `---`, and the paragraph handle, and it also supports direct deletion.	Word supports inserting a horizontal line by typing three characters and pressing Enter, and the line can be formatted through border settings.	Google Docs official product information highlights online document creation and collaboration, but the public official pages reviewed here do not provide a dedicated help article for a separator-line workflow.	Notion provides a Divider block that can be inserted from the `+` menu, with `/div`, or by typing `---`.	Acrobat supports drawing lines in PDFs with comment and drawing tools, with controls for thickness and appearance.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS offers menu-based insertion, command-based insertion, automatic conversion, and paragraph-handle insertion in one writing flow, plus direct deletion in the document body.	Compared with WPS: Word's three-character line is closer to an automatic border behavior, with formatting centered around border settings.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs public official materials focus more on collaboration and general document editing than on a dedicated separator-line help flow.	Compared with WPS: Notion also supports command and `---` insertion, but its divider is part of a block-based page model.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat line tools are designed mainly for PDF markup and annotation rather than everyday body-text structure in a document editor.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Separator Line fits everyday document layout work on macOS, especially when you want several insertion methods inside the same editing flow. Notion offers a similar divider concept for block-based pages, while Adobe Acrobat is more suitable for PDF markup scenarios.
