Default I CAN'T GET RID OF THIS LINE and IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!

I had a line delete problem after I cut and paste from a WordPerfect document
into a Word2007 document. It was NOT a paragraph border problem, so the
solution at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...tRidOfLine.htm
did NOT help me -- but try that site if the following doesn't help: ALT-F9
to toggle field codes to see the field codes in the document. Delete the
field and you'll delete the line and other weird formatting. Apparently,
when cutting and pasting from another program, very sophisticated, embedded
codes sometimes get placed in your .doc or .docx document.

I am trying to remove a line that I think was automatically created. You
can't delete it. Can't cut it. How do I get rid of it?

SPECIFICALLY, when I put the cursor over this line, two little horizontal
lines appear (with tiny up and down arrows) and I can move the line in
question up and down, but that's it.

Help, please!
