Problem inside text doc
Somehow I seem to have inserted a double line in the text of something I'm
working on in Word 2003. It goes all the way across the page from left to right margin. I think I copied something from an e-mail and pasted it in the running notes I have at the bottom of my story (I'm a writer). As I cover what is at the top of the story notes, I delete them and go on to the next. I try to have the notes in somewhat chronological order to the story as it unfolds. But now I can't seem to delete that idiotic double line!! I have tried everything I can think of short of retyping the entire 101 pages!! Needless to say I am NOT going to do that. I have even tried copying and pasting the text ABOVE that stupid double line to a blank doc, and no matter how far up I go to copy, thinking I don't mind retyping a FEW lines, that aggravating line reappears at the bottom of wherever I copied to. I cannot space around it, above it or below it. It reappears at the bottom of every page unless a paragraph runs from the bottom of one page onto the next, then it jumps to the bottom of that page and waits to reappear if the bottom paragraph doesn't continue onto the next page. I have tried right-clicking on it, nothing. I can't backspace over it, the cursor just jumps right over it as though it weren't there. I have no idea how to reveal what the embedded command is, let alone how to delete it!! Suggestions?? |

It's almost certainly a border, and RLA will need to select *all* the
paragraphs now affected and choose No Border or None. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "DeanH" wrote in message ...
