Strange monster on my page

[Gromit]

Hi,

I'm working with a large word document, and within the header an
footer there's a yellow horizontal line that I'd like to make black
However, I can't seem to select it or do anything with it all al
except move it up and down a little. When my mouse is over it, th
cursor changes to being a kind of equals sign with an arrow pointing u
from the centre of the top and down from centre of the bottom.

By experimentation, I've discovered that I can create one of thes
things by typing "____" then hitting return. This doesn't happen when
try to record a macro to try to get hold of this monstrosity.

If someone could tell me what this thing is, how to format it, or ho
to delete it, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks,

Graha

Gromit,
Maybe this link will help you get rid of the monstrosity.

Cancel, that, I figured it out.

It's a paragraph border.

Thanks anyway.
