Hello, all!
I received a 5-pg word document, and I was asked to help remove a black line that runs across the top of each page. The page margins are ¼ of an inch, but the line itself is roughly at ¼ from the top. I am unable to select it, and when I go to headers/footers, the line turns gray, and I am unable to do anything with it there. I thought it might have something to do with the paragraph border, but that is not it either. And when I insert a sixth page, the line appears at the top of that page, too. :-/ Does anyone here have any thoughts of what I can do to remove it? Thanks for your help! |

It could be a page border. In case of Word 2003, select Format Borders and
Shading Page Borders tab. Is a top border shown in the preview? In that case, click the border to remove it or click None. In case of Word 2007, you can access the dialog box via Home tab Paragraph group click the arrow next to the bottom-right icon and select Borders and Shading. -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Leprakawn" wrote: Hello, all!
