Hi,

If you type three or more hyphens in Word, you often get a black line going all the way across the page. Here's how to get rid of them:

1.Click to place your cursor above the line.

2.Click on the Home tab at the top of your screen.

3.Click on the drop-down arrow next to the Borders button toward the middle of the Ribbon in the Paragraph group.

4. Click on No Border.


Here's how to make it so this Word doesn't do this again:

1. Click on the File button in the upper left-hand corner of your screen.

2. Click on Options near the bottom of the menu that pops up.

3. Click on Proofing on the left-hand side of the box that pops up.

4. Click on the AutoCorrect Options button on the right.

5. Click on the AutoFormat As You Type tab in the next box.

6. In the Apply as you type group in the middle, uncheck the box next to Border lines.

7. Click OK to get out of both boxes.

Hope that does the trick!
