How do I remove a line formed by hitting asterisks?

[cdelune]

I don't seem to be able to find a way to remove a line formed by hitting
several asterisks and then the "Enter" key. How do I get rid of it?

Thanks!

It is definitely paragraph border - 3pt square dots.

They are borders. To remove them, choose Format, borders and shading from
the menu bar in office 2003 or before, and change the border style to none.
In Office 2007, make the same choice from the borders button in the paragraph
group of the home gallery.
To turn it off so it doesn't do it anymore at all, you can change the
AutoFormat as you type options to turn off automatically applying borders.

Possibly you have "Borders" disabled on the AutoFormat tab but not on
AutoFormat As You Type?

Note especially that the border is applied to the paragraph _before_
the one where you pressed Enter.
