    How can I make my journal have ruled lines?

    Instead of Microsoft Word, you could download Microsoft OneNote. It allows you to create sections, lines, etc., and it's great for taking school notes.

  • Question
    How do I file a computer diary?
    Community Answer
    The best way is to save it into a memorable file in your documents or on your desktop. Should you wish for it to still be accessible if your computer breaks, try a online storage method like One Drive or Dropbox.
