Hi, this is my first posting on this forum.


I have writing on MS Word, and suddenly I have some horizontal border lines appearing that I cannot delete. I don't know how they got there. I may have clicked some wrong keys while writing. Sometimes I type pretty fast without looking.
Anyway, now the cursor simply jumps above and below the horizontal line when I scroll, and will not eliminate the line when I select and delete, and I cannot move the line except by hitting Enter, which does not remove the line but simply lowers the line down the page. I have tried going to Format > Borders & Shading to delete them, but cannot.
Any advice please? Thank you.

FYI - Windows 7, Office 2003

Select a couple of paragraphs, so that the border line is included in the selection. Then click Format | Borders and Shading and pick the "None" option (even if it already appears to be selected) on the Border tab. Click OK.

michaelas,

Please don't post the same question in multiple locations. Post Word-related questions in the appropriate Word forum only - as the notice in the Office forum where you posted the duplicate clearly says to do. I am deleting the duplicate.

Thank you. It worked!
I noticed that the border line kept moving upward as I would delete it, until a few pages up, and then it disappeared for good. I must be doing something to make the line appear. I'm not sure what though.

Thanks also for the link to the article. I will keep that one. The clue may be in there.
Thank you again, Stephan Blom!

To macropod:
Thanks for the note. Sorry about the double posting. I had a glitch. Won't happen again.

Sorry, I mean Stefan Blom ! Oops, some days...
