Red Line in Document
I was typing on a document and suddenly a red vertical line appeared down the
left side of all pages. It goes through the words of the document. How can I get rid of this line? I don't even know where it came from. -- Sandy G |

That sounds like a Track Changes indicator, and line color is set to red
(normally, it's set to Auto, and generally is black). Is TRK showing on the status bar? Double-click the TRK to turn tracking off (single-click if this is Word 2007). Click the Accept Changes dropdown arrow in the Reviewing toolbar, and choose Accept all changes. (In Word 2007, the Accept button is in the Review ribbon tab). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Sandy G" wrote in message ...

No TRK anywhere. I don't think that is the problem. Any other thoughts?

Are you seeing the line in other programs, or just in Word? In all
documents, or just in that document? If it's not TRK changes indicators, then my next guess would be a problem with the display driver and some odd interaction with Word--unless the problem occurs on another computer, as well. If the problem persists after rebooting, or shows up when you view that document on another computer, then I'd have to see it to try to diagnose what it is. If you'd care to email it to me (if the contents aren't sensitive/proprietary), I'd be happy to take a look... I love a good mystery. If so... please send to herb at herbtyson dot com (my attempt to avoid automatic address harversters). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Sandy G" wrote in message ...

It appears to be only that document. I might send it to you. It may be the
formatting the company does. It's a job application. -- Sandy G "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: Are you seeing the line in other programs, or just in Word? In all documents, or just in that document?

Hi, Sandy,
The red line is a graphic line that was drawn there in the Header/Footer layer. Choose View €“ Header and Footer (Im assuming youre using Word 2003 or earlier). Once viewing the Header/Footer €ślayer€ť, you can now click on the line to select it, then tap the Delete or Backspace key€¦ and Poof! I sent you the file with the line zapped. The mystery, of course, is €śHow did it get there?€ť Such things dont happen by accident. You indicated that you were typing, and the red vertical line appeared. Im wondering if perhaps it was there, but you hadnt previously noticed it. But, the question for you would be €śWho put it there, and why?€ť. I guess, if you delete it, someone will notice its missing and complain€¦ and then youll have the answer. Maybe you should change it to a green line to get their attention! ;-) Cheers, -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Sandy G" wrote in message ...
