Ah, I must have clicked on the page tab accidently and not realized it
(I've haven't ever used page borders). Problem solved- Thanks Beth!

In the Borders and Shading dialog box did you try looking at the Page
Border tab?

I have a document that I'm editing, including typing new text, some
formatting of tables, etc. All of the sudden, I realize that there is a
heavy (2.5 point?) horizontal line at the bottom of every page (all the
way across from edge to edge, no margin), about 1/4 of an inch from the
bottom. I can't select the line with the mouse. I also checked borders &
shading for the last line on a few of the pages, and they show no
borders.

My first thought, since it is on every page, is that somehow I did
something to the footer (The document header and footer are empty, but
it still seemed like a logical conclusion). However, when I open
header/footer, the line turns light grey like the rest of the background
document, and can't be selected from within the footer either. I also
checked the border on the footer just to be sure, but it is all blank.

The line is not visible on "normal" layout view, but I always use
"print" layout view, which is where it is showing. The line does show
when printed, with probably a .2" gap to the left side of the paper and
.15 to the right, which are probably the limits of my printer.

Any other ideas what I can check? Word2003 on WinXP.

Thanks!
Keith
