Line, impossible to delete
I have managed to create a line across the document, which I cannot get ride
of. You can move it just a bit betweed two spaces. Delete or other similar aids do not help. The only way is to start a new document? Thanks Kalevi |

What you are seeing is probably a paragraph border. Take a look at:

Sometimes , Kalevi, it has to do with how you created the line in the first
place: One shortcut method for creating a line WHICH LINKS IT TO TEXT AND THEREFORE MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DELETE ON ITS OWN is to type three hyphens (---) and then press enter. It is also possible to create other versions of a line this way, including three equals signs (===), press enter; three number/pound signs (###), three asterisks (***), or three tilde (~~~). If this is how you have created your line, then yes, you'll probably have to delete the text linked to it (or the whole file) to get rid of it. Try using Format | Borders & Shading | Borders on selected text if you want a line. It will give you a wide variety of options forline styles, all in the format of a four-sided border. Click on the edge(s) of the box in the Preview window on this menu to delete the top/sides/bottom you do not want. "Stefan Blom" wrote: What you are seeing is probably a paragraph border.
