how do I get rid of this dashed line at the bottom of the page?
I am using word 2007. When I make three consecutive asteriks (***), Word
will automatically inset a dashed line, a page break of sorts. Now, I would like to get rid of these breaks, as I am trying to edit a document and they are cutting right through the middle of key parts of text. I have tried to highlight them and delete them but to no avail. Also, how to I turn of this setting? I wasn't even trying to use the series of asteriks for page break to begin with, but to seperate sections of a document. Thank you for your assistance. John |

To turn off this function - Word Options Proofing Autocorrect Options
Autoformat as you type uncheck 'border lines'. You can to advantage turn off much of the stuff on that page. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org John wrote: I am using word 2007.
