Look up "borders" in the Word help.
What you have is a paragraph border. The Help explains how to remove it.
"How it happened" is probably due to Tools>AutoCorrect>Autoformat as you
type." Look that up in the help too.
The AutoFormat dialog is in three sections: I recommend turning OFF the top
set and the bottom set of options.
Note that once you have applied a border to a paragraph, it may be adopted
as part of the paragraph style if you have left "Automatically update"
turned on for your styles.
Look up "Have Word automatically update a style"
Did you ever wonder whether Word was too "automatic" for it's own good, and
that all this automatic junk is causing more difficulty than it's worth??
The reason I'm sending you to the help is so you learn how to look this
stuff up for yourself. That will allow you to get much more work done in
Word far more quickly, and to thus get much greater value out of the money
you spent to buy it.
Don't bother with either the Table of Contents or the Index in the Help,
they're useless. Type what you want in the Search box. It's faster and
much more accurate.
Hope this helps
I'm typing a manuscript. Somehow I must have pressed something wrong
because I've gotten a segmented line after a number of paragraghs that
I can't delete. They just shift up and down. Does anyone know how this
happened and how to get rid of these lines? Thanks.
