Removing stubborn lines

Post by RonH »

I use Word 2010 and found it impossible to be able to remove a couple of horizontal lines that 'magically appeared' on a page.
After searching extensively on line I came across this:

'Borders' was my problem but in my case it was necessary to select multiple paragraphs in the page/No Borders as described within the link . I guess that I had somehow engaged Word *Auto Format' by typing three or more hyphens sometime ago when I first created the doc. However this link 'Troublesome Lines' describes how to delete many types of unwanted lines and may be of some assistance to other members.

If you do't know about the border issue, its a very annoying scenario. In hindsight, if one gets a stubborn line in a document, the first place you go is borders. In other words, you only need to learn about this once. :grin:
