Microsoft Word is the worlds best word processor, but we all knows how irritating it is some time when we have to finish some documentation work in hurry..!
Out of many such irritating problems, one is really disturbing. Many time we find that word enters a horizontal line in the document which can neither be deleted, shifted or changed by any means. Basically this line is not a line of characters or even a drawing object. Rather, it’s a border.
By default, if you enter three or more hyphens (-), underscores (_), equal signs (=), or asterisks (*) followed by a carriage return, Word automatically gives the current paragraph a thin, thick, double, or dotted bottom border. You must have done this accidentally.
Solution:
To get rid of the line, put the cursor directly above it and select Borders and Shading from the Format menu. Click the None box and click OK. if you don’t find format menu, go to Home, Paragraph roll out, in which you will see Border icon. Click it to remove the border. To prevent the automatic insertion of borders, select AutoCorrect Options from the Tools menu, click the AutoFormat As You Type tab, and uncheck Borderlines.
