Please help! Black lines on my document that will not go away!!!
I am using word 2007 and there a bunch of black lines on my document that will not go away. They're driving me crazy because I need to submit a document to a journal and Microsoft won't help me because my warranty is up. Anyone have any advice? |

How to Get Rid of Black Lines
Hi,
Try this to get rid of the lines: 1. Click above each line. 2. Locate the dropdown arrow to the right of the Borders button on the Home tab. 3. Click on "No borders" in the menu that pops up. Hopefully your lines will now go away. By the way, the lines probably appeared when you typed three hyphens, three underscores, or three of certain other characters. Here's how you can prevent this from happening in the future: 1. Click on the round Microsoft Office button in the left-hand corner of your screen. 2. Click on the Word Options button in the lower right-hand corner of the box that pops up. 3. Click on "Proofing" on the left in the next box. 4. Click on the AutoCorrect Options button near the top of the next box. 5. Click on the AutoFormat As You Type tab in the next box. 6. Uncheck the box next to "Border lines" in the middle of the box in the "Apply as you type" section. 7. Click OK to get out of both boxes. Hope that helps! Kara http://karathecomputertutor.com |

I have the same exact problem. I make manual underlines and they turn into thick black lines going across my page. Then then stay, usually at the bottom of pages. I can't delete them, can't get rid of them by using the "borders and shading" tool. I even tried cutting the whole chapter with the black lines and retyping it, but the black lines were still there in the newly typed chapter! Help!

Hi gfswolf,
Please don't post the same question in multiple threads. I have provided the answer in your other thread.
