Default Dotted line to remove

"Soft" page breaks are displayed (in Normal view) as a dotted line when you
have nonprinting characters displayed. "Hard" (manual) page breaks are
displayed in all views as a dotted line with the words "Page Break" in the
center.

But if this dotted line is a border, you may have to remove it from several
successive paragraphs before you get rid of it entirely.

Thank you both for your prompt response.

Graham: I have followed the link you sent - it doesn't work for me.

Suzanne: I see you as one of the co-authors. I recall I was looking at
page
breaks when the line first appeared. Does that help?

Regards

Marcus

That's assuming it's not just a page break.

I have just been editing a multi-page word document and something I did
has
made a dotted line appear. It goes across the page from margin to
margin.
Whatever I do to try to remove it doesn't seem to work. The line was
not
in
the original so some I assume some key or setting I have touched has
done
it.

The Word I am using is MS Office Word 2007 - something I find is a lot
more
fiddly than the older version I have used for years.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You.
