How to insert a horizontal line in MS Word

I'm not a great fan of Microsoft Word, over the years it has become too busy and harder to find the feature or option you are looking for. A good example of this poor design is how to add a horizontal line, here are the steps for Word 2007, it is similar in other versions I have used.

  1. Select the 'Page Layout' tab page along the top.
  2. Click on the 'Page Borders' button.
  3. In the bottom left corner there is a button to add a 'Horizontal Line'. Highlighted on the image with a red box.
This seems a strange place to put this feature and I think it should go in another area of the software.
