In the Editing section of the home tab of the ribbon, use the Select
pulldown and from it select the "Select Objects" item. You should then be
able to select and delete the line.
Or, see the article "There is a line in my document that I can't delete
because I can't select it. How did it get there, and what can I do about
it? at:

Sorry - in my zeal to solve the mystery, I forgot some important info.
I'm
using Word 2007. I originally created my footer using (I believe) Page
Number - Bottom of Page - Accent Bar 2. I'm wondering if I need to
create
a brand new file and start over with page numbering. I'm nervous - it's
really six documents with a LOT of formatting and work that I can't afford
to
lose. I'd rather rig it with white boxes covering the footing, publish to
PDF, and call it a day. Ideally, though, I would really like to do it
right
for efficient long term use.
