In order to delineate the end of one subject and begin another, I
typed in a line of asterisks, and no way, no how can I get rid of it.
I've tried all the logical ways, and searched help and the Word for
Dummies book, to no avail. I did not put spaces between the
asterisks, which one person told me was a mistake. Help!
Also, I would like to know what the "lightening bolt" symbol is. It
often shows up, but mostly when I try to indent a paragraph.
I'm praying no one will spam this email address, as it could get me
fired. Thank you.
The line is a paragraph border created by the AutoFormatAsYouType feature.
See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...tRidOfLine.htm for
removal and avoidance instructions.
The "lightning bolt" symbol is (as the mouseover tip says) an AutoCorrect
Options button. When Word changes something through AutoCorrect, it gives
you that icon; click it to get a little menu of things you can do, such as
Undo and Stop AutoCorrecting.
And finally, since you posted through the Microsoft web forum, your email
address doesn't appear in your post.
