Three Astrisk Formatting -- how to undo
I recently learned that typing three astrisks, three pound signs or three
other symbols creates an automatic formatting in Word. Unfortunately, I learned this too late. I typed three astrisks in a row and Word converted it to a heavy dotted line. How do I undo what I've done? I've tried backspacing, highlighting and deleting and using the search and replace option. None of these "solutions" I've read about on the Internet works. I also tried copying and pasting ONLY the text portion to a anew file, but that dotted line still finds a way to insert itself in the new file. Help! I'm really desperate to get rid of this. |
