wdHorizontalLineFixedWidth Microsoft Word interprets the width (length) of the specified horizontal line as a fixed value (in points). This is the default value for horizontal lines added with the AddHorizontalLine method. Setting the Width property for the InlineShape object associated with a horizontal line sets the WidthType property to this value.
