By default the horizontal rule is about 2 pixels thick and extends the width of the page. It also automatically generates paragraph breaks above and below the rule.

A horizontal rule can extend the width of the entire page or can be set to a particular width. 

A horizontal rule can be any thickness you desire.

A horizontal rule can be filled in.

Use the drop-down arrows in the Horizontal Rule dialog box to choose the alignment of your rule on the page, the size (i.e., thickness) of the rule, and the width of the rule.

Check Noshading if you want a solid rule.
