You can't get rid of it. It is the end of document marker, and it only and
always shows in Normal View. Just ignore it.

Just to clairfy, the Underscore is non-printing and doesn't appear in the
Print Layout (or any other) view. It wouldn't bother me, but it's bugging my
boss.

When opening a new document in Word 2003, Normal view shows a long black
underscore following the blinking insertion point. How do I remove it and
simply show the insertion point (like print layout view)? Thanks.
