Default How to delete a dividing line created with asterisks

Thanks so much to Suzanne and Jay. I wish one of you could sit by my side as
I learn...not only am I new to Word, I'm new to the PC, which makes it even
more of a puzzle! It's great to get help so fast, and be able to keep my job
because you help make it "look" like I know what I'm doing! The only little
trouble I had using the information was due to the fact that it seems to be
written for Word 2003, and I'm using 2007. There is no "format/borders" tab,
and it takes me quite a bit of searching through all the tabs to find
something similar...nothing seems to be in its logical place! For that
matter, I'm even having trouble locating where to turn off auto-formatting!
Thanks again!

In order to delineate the end of one subject and begin another, I typed in
a
line of asterisks, and no way, no how can I get rid of it. I've tried all
the
logical ways, and searched help and the Word for Dummies book, to no
avail. I
did not put spaces between the asterisks, which one person told me was a
mistake. Help!

Also, I would like to know what the "lightening bolt" symbol is. It often
shows up, but mostly when I try to indent a paragraph.

I'm praying no one will spam this email address, as it could get me fired.
Thank you.
