Horizontal lines won't insert into full margins set in a doc.

[rec]

I am trying to insert horizontal lines in word 2007 and sometimes they only insert a partial line, not from the left margin to the full end of the right margin. Also when I get the partial horizontal line it won't let me delete it.
On top of all that aggravation it sometimes fills in an automatic border. I have gone into Word Options to the Auto Format tab and made sure that Border lines is not checked. I am coming to the conclusion that this technology is very flawed.

Please be more specific. What technique are you using to insert the line?

And when does it fill in an automatic border.

have you turned on Show/Hide to see if there are non-printing characters in the way of your border?

Hi, Thanks for your inquiry. I was trying to insert Horizontal lines in a document and sometimes only partial lines appeared. I deleted those and switched to inserting bottom borders and this has worked for me. I

When I was having that problem with horizontal lines I turned on the paragraph marks to see if I need to delete any other marks which I did but it still would not work even if I moved the margins back out which sometimes move on me without me having changed them. I have Vista and don't know why this happens but I am not an expert and that is why I hope to find this forum helpful. Thanks for your concern!
