In Word 2016 this red vertical line appeared in my documents. I was not happy because the so-called "Microsoft Help" didn't seem to have anything about it. I'd also looked in "Options" for the file and found no such "option"! I can usually solve these things and knew it wasn't a Track Change issue in my case. Several people suggested that, in response to this inquiry, and it may be for some cases, but not here.

Thanks to Shawn's comment below, I solved it. Thank you, Shawn! Clicking in the paragraph with the line and choosing no border corrected it.

I'm an advanced Word user, so glad to have found this forum!
