How do I delete an unwanted line in Word?

[Delbert R.]

I typed in a row of dashes to separate 2 items in a column. The auto-format
converted it to a solid line that I cannot find a way to edit or delete. I
have turned off the auto-format for dashes, but still can't find a way to
eliminate the unwanted line. The line pushes forward with typed text to the
end of the page and then a new line forms on the next page.

I have tried everything I could think of from Help, but have been
unsuccessful. I could certainly use some help. Thanks.

Put the cursor in the paragraph above the line;
Format > Borders and Shading...
Select None.
