    In the paragraph section, open the drop-down menu on the "Borders" button. At the very bottom is a "Borders and Shading" option. In that option, change the color of the bottom border to your specified color. Click the "Borders" button.

    Select the line on which you would like to insert the dotted line. Next, do *** and press Enter. It should automatically give you a row of dots.

    How can I change the color of a solid line beneath the text in MS Word?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    If you left-click twice on the line (assuming it is a shape), then it will bring you to the customization menu in the toolbar. From there, you can select the color of the line from a drop-down menu.
