I believe you are describing a footnote separator (or a footnote continuation separator). Switch to Draft view. On the References tab, click Show Notes. In the footnotes pane, select Footnote Separator and delete any line that you find there. Do the same for Footnote Continuation Separator. When you are done, close the footnotes pane and return to Print Layout view.
