    Great tip! I need to do a timeline for an upcoming book layout and will use this technique. Thank you.

    Nice write up Mike. It almost makes me want to roll a timeline into a project just to try it out. Always a good sign after reading a tutorial.

  • Andre Vandal says:

    Well this was fun, thanks for the exercise.

  • Miriam says:

    That was pretty cool! So simple actually, but I never would have gotten the idea. Thanks!

    Great article – I have to create things like this occasionally, but sometimes there is a lot of info for the page – is there anyway to put objects below the line, too?
