Horizontal lines have appeared in my text in Word 2007 compatibility mode.
I
can't put the cursor on them. they don't respond to backspace or delete.
They
can't be treated as objects. i don't where they came from I don't find
any
solution in HELP. It tells how to add lines but not how to remove them.
Perhaps I am asking the wrong question on the help screen.
I appreciate your courtesy.
