While working on a manuscript, I come to the end of a chapter and it is my
direction to include 3 pound signs, centered then go onto the next line.
These 3 pound signs (###) turn into a solid, heavy black line. How do I turn
this option off? I know I can backspace to get rid of the line, but I want
to turn the option OFF.

Click on Tools / Auto Correct Options.

Click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.

Under Apply as you type take out the check on Border Lines.

This should do it.
