Place the cursor in the footer paragraph, and then choose Format |
Borders and Shading. Remove any borders applied.

I have been working on a long document. I just noticed that left
and right
sides of the footer, there are vertical lines. They are beneath the
page
number, so I can't even click on them. A;though I didn't use the
"track
changes" in this document, I tried to use the "reject all changes in
this
document," using the "track changes," tool. That didn't help. Any
idea where
these marks came from and how can I remove them?

Thanks very much,
Bob
