Default How do I remove a line formed by hitting asterisks?

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

Actually, it isn't a border. I have borders turned off (and

double-checked
to see if you were right).

So . . . I'm still searching for the right answer!

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.

Thanks!
