Default Bold line appearing randomly

I often create a solid bold line to break up sections in a document by
holding down the shift key and pressing the underline until the end of page
is reached, then hit return and Word makes it bold and ir shifts slightly.
The problem is that if I do this in a document, sometimes later on it appears
randomly and I cannot find any way to delete it. I can move it somewhat and
sometimes I can insert text above it causing it to drop down as I carriage
return, but then it will randomly shift itself back up and seems to want to
stay on that page. Is this a bug? How do I delete this line?

I am having the same trouble as Confuseus but your advice below does work for
me. Instead I get red bubbles and writing showing I deleted things. I hope
you can help me. I am desperate.

Thanks,
Linda

Linda, you have Track Changes turned on. You need to turn it off press
Ctrl+Shift+E) and then accept all the changes in the document. See
