How does one remove lines?
I wanted to separate pieces of text in word 97 with three dashes ---
Instead it drew a line right across the page, and now I can't delete it. How do I get rid of this line? -- Steve Hayes from Tshwane, South Africa http://people.tribe.net/hayesstw E-mail - see web page, or parse: shayes at dunelm full stop org full stop uk |

Problem is, that when I select the text and remove the "Borders and shading" it simply moves that format back to the preceding paragraph. -- Steve Hayes from Tshwane, South Africa http://people.tribe.net/hayesstw E-mail - see web page, or parse: shayes at dunelm full stop org full stop uk |

Problem is, that when I select the text and remove the "Borders and
shading" it simply moves that format back to the preceding paragraph. Did you select several paragraphs, including ones before your problem paragraph, and use the Ctrl+Q trick explained in http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...tRidOfLine.htm ??

How does one remove lines?
If you had read the article carefully, you would have read:
Note: If you've pressed Enter several times trying to get rid of the line, you will merely have applied the border formatting to all the paragraphs you added, as well as to the original one. This won't be obvious, because when several consecutive paragraphs have the same "border below" formatting applied to them, the border only appears below the last of them. So If you then remove the Border formatting from the paragraph that has the line below it, the line will move up one paragraph. The trick is to select all the affected paragraphs and either press Ctrl+Q or choose No Border. -- Suzanne S.
