Unwanted lines in Print Preview - Word

[harky]

Hi

I have a document that looks fine in editing mode, but as soon as I print it, or even look at it in Print Preview, strange unwanted horizontal lines appear in certain paragraphs. Does anyone know how I can get rid of these?

Thanks
Harky

Try this:

Under Tools, Auto Correct Options, Autoformat as You Type tab; uncheck everything under apply as you type, uncheck Border lines.

Please respond if that works or not.

Hi mate,

Nope, that didn't work. I've PDFed it and can remove the lines with PitStop, but they are uneditable in the Word document

This from Word MVP FAQ

To remove lines, select the paragraph above it and, in Format | Borders and Shading, choose None; or click the down arrow beside the Borders button on the toolbar and choose the last (No Border) option in the palette. Alternatively, you can simply click in the offending paragraph and press Ctrl+Q, which resets the paragraph formatting to the default for the style.

I've tried removing borders, it's almost as if the text has a hidden paragraph or something in the background. It's a bit odd and I'm guessing the file is corrupt in some way

Have you tried sending this document to some one else (different printer) and see if the problem follows?

If this is Word 2003, use Open and Repair option. If it is a previous version, open a blank document and use Insert, File.

Are the strange lines still present?
