Default Can't remove old page breaks

In an old version of MS Word (probably 2003), I added page breaks into a manuscript. It added a line of black dashes. I have been unable to remove these since. I have even recreated the document and deleted the text surrounding it and retyped to no avail. I can move the page breaks but can't delete them altogether. I am almost ready to submit the novel for publication but can't do so with these page breaks in there. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weird Lines and Borders
Take a look at that and see if anything looks familiar.

You are welcome.
When you started talking about dashed lines that couldn't be deleted it rang a bell.
