How do I remove a line formed by hitting asterisks?
I don't seem to be able to find a way to remove a line formed by hitting
several asterisks and then the "Enter" key. How do I get rid of it? Thanks! |

How do I remove a line formed by hitting asterisks?
It is definitely paragraph border - 3pt square dots.

In Office 2007, make the same choice from the borders button in the paragraph group of the home gallery. To turn it off so it doesn't do it anymore at all, you can change the AutoFormat as you type options to turn off automatically applying borders.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...tRidOfLine.htm.
Note especially that the border is applied to the paragraph _before_ the one where you pressed Enter. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
