Word 2007.

I was typing a report when suddenly a dashed line of minute black squares
appeared below the paragraph I was typing. At the end of the page, it
remained and a second line appeared on the new page. I am unable to repeat
it here as it appears to be embedded and can't be copied. When the curser is
hovered over it, it shows the double line symbol as if allowing the line to
be moved but I could not move it. I can find the type of line in the Insert
menu (Shapes||Line||) but this line is not an insert. It will not highlight
and I can't copy it or delete it. I have looked in the obvious places, -
Page Break, Formatting, et al - but can't find any explanation.

Can anyone enlighten me on this?

TIA for any help.

This usually occurs when people inadvertently tap on the keyboard as they
think about the next text they are going to write ;-)
Hope this helps
