If the previous answer doesn't do it for you, then read
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...tRidOfLine.htm. The only update
for Word 2010 is that you get to the AutoCorrect Options through File |
Options | Proofing.

Iam using the latest version of Word. How can I stop these horizontal
lines from being created and how can I delete the ones that I now have?

I often type a line of 20 or so asterisks to act as an informal
section divider in my text. As soon as I hit Enter, though, Word 2007
turns it into a line of bullets. How can I prevent that? Thanks.

Click the Office button, and then click Word Options. In the Proofing
category, click the AutoCorrect Options button. On the AutoFormat As You
Type tab, clear the "Border lines" option. You may also want to clear
"Automatic bulleted list" and "Automatic numbered lists" options. When
you
are done, click OK twice.
