What type of horizontal line is this in Microsoft Word?
Does anyone know what type of line it is and how to create another?
It's a horizontal line.
The "normal" way (to insert one) is to go to the "Borders" button in the "Paragraph" group and choose "Horizontal Line."
You can also use "Auto Format"
On a blank line, type the 3 characters in a row and then Enter. A line appears across the page.
If you need to remove one, simply Backspace or Delete as normal.

And how to change once inserted:
In my opinion this is a Paragraph border, which is applied from Home > Paragraph > Bottom Border. Then you can customize the way you want.
It is a border just like a text box border.
