Default How to remove ------- in the text?

Hi...

I have written a large text and I wanted to make a lot of marks in the text
in order to seperate it. I used the "-----" or "****" to seperate and then
when I pushed enter there came a large line all across the screen.
Perfect...because that was what I wanted. But the problem is that I cannot
get rid of these lines now. They seem to place themselves near the page
shifts. Believe me I have tried to delete, to alter the page setup, tried to
cancel page shifts etc., but theses lines are still present. If I copy paste
they follow along. Please help me....how do I remove them?! I have tried for
several months...you will be the most respected professional word problem
solver in the world to me, if you can solve this problem.

Best regards

Jacob Larsen

They're paragraph borders created by AutoFormat As You Type.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...tRidOfLine.htm for
explanation and cure.
