Black line in footer HELP!
I've been using Word for ten years, but am stumped on this.
I have a document that has a line running through the footer the full length of the page, around a quarter-inch to three-eighths inch from page bottom. One pioint thickness. It is on every page. It prints. It appears to have no connection to the footer space, which I can change in terms of width, height, border, shading, whatever, with no effect. I can make the footer take up no space and go under it. I can make the footer very large and run through it. It doesn't move; it doesn't change. It is not selectable in any way. This was in a document that was sent to me for editing. I couldn't get rid of the line, so I pasted the contents in to a new file. The line was not evident until I re-opened the file this morning. Now it is back. I can delete all the contents from this file so that I have a blank header, footer and no body, and the line is still there. The only plus to this is that the line is deletable in PDFs (providing you are using an appropriate version of Acrobat) so if I have to deal with it that way, I will. Thanks fo any help... |

Black line in footer HELP!
I have seen similar issues. What happened was that the line was in (for
instance) a second column of the document somehow. Also, be sure you're trying to use the Drawing "selector" tool to select it. -- ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "MW" wrote: I've been using Word for ten years, but am stumped on this.
