Okay, I have deleted the line. This is what I discovered. I had to select the
whole document first, then I went to borders and selected none. Poof...gone!
Thank you

It's border formatting, and it happened automatically, thanks to a bit of
"intellisense" programmed into Word.

To get rid of this, select the section containing the lines, and choose
Format - Borders and Shading - Borders tab, and click None.

To keep it from happening again, choose Tools - AutoCorrect Options -
AutoFormat as You Type, and remove the check next to Border Lines (under As
You Type). Take a look at the other options here, as well, since they could
well explain other unwanted conversions you might encounter.

Cheers,
