Word 97 1

[turner1]

Please can someone tell me how to remove a line that has been inserted in Word through typing in 3 dashes and hitting return. This issue is causing me a significant amount of time. Thanks

I have not heard of this before (I have Word 97 and it doesn't do what you state). Nevertheless, click on SHOW/HIDE (reverse P on your toolbar). The line will be may be anchored.

Delete the carriage return character that the line is anchored to and the line should disappear.

This should also work if the line is text (rather than a picture).

Check out Tools->AutoCorrect. Three dashes may be changing because of a setting there.

It's a border.

Select the paragraphs around the line.
Choose Borders and shading from the Format menu.
Click on the None icon (top left hand corner).
Click on OK.

If the line keeps moving to other paragraphs then do the same for that paragraph (or even select the entire document and do it).

The border was inserted because of the following setting:
Tools - Autocorrect - AutoFormat as you type - Borders checkbox contained a tick.
