Black lines
Hi,
By default, Word automatically creates six different types of border lines that stretch across the page when you type a hyphen (-), the underscore character (_), an equal sign (=), a tilde (~), the pound sign (#), or an asterisk (*) three or more times at the beginning of a new line with nothing before, between, or after these characters and then press Enter. If you want to type one of these characters three or more times without creating a line, simply type a space or some other text after them before you press Enter. If you forget to insert a space or other text and a line appears, you can remove it immediately by pressing Alt+Backspace or Ctrl+Z, that is, either of the shortcut keys that undoes the previous action. These lines are created as the lower border of the previous paragraph. You can take advantage of this fact to remove such a line when undoing the previous action can no longer remove it. In this case place your cursor immediately above it, that is, within the previous paragraph and press Ctrl+Q. Pressing this key resets the formatting of the paragraph to the default formatting, which generally specifies no borders. You can disable the automatic generation of these lines in Word 2003 by performing the following steps. On the Tools menu, click Autocorrect Options. Then in the Autocorrect Options dialog box, on the AutoFormat As You Type tab, clear the Border Lines check box, which is located in the Apply As You Type Options section. After you disable this feature, you can enable it again by selecting the Border Lines check box. -- Hope this helps, Pesach Shelnitz "pdlb" wrote: Hi keep getting black lines in my document that I can't get rid of.
