How to identify and remove dotted line.
Using MS Word 2000 and in one of my letters I have a dotted line (or can
make several appear as I move text). I can see it in normal print and web layout views. Also in Print Preview. I can 'select' it and move it a limited distance up and down the text, it goes as wide as the text (between margins). But what I can't seem to do is remove the dash thing. What is it? and how can I delete it? TIA. Peter S. |

How to identify and remove dotted line.
I think you may be looking at Formatting Tab.
To do this - Click on line(s) Click on FormatTabs Highlight the tab (if you have more than one) that shows a leader of (type 2) Click on 1OK or Click on Clear all If this doesn't work come back.

How to identify and remove dotted line.
Thank you Bill, Suzanne and Jay.
Your information has solved my problem and I am grateful. While I am not into 'MS Bashing' It looks like another example of software design that could have been handled better.
