Horizontal square dotted line
Please upload a screen shot, so that we can see what you see.
Word does make some automatic "corrections," replacing (among other things) asterisks with a paragraph border. I am not sure if that applies to Word Online, though.
Thanks Stefan, as requested, screen shot of the horizontal dotted line that keeps appearing and I can't get rid of.
Your screen shot definitely shows a paragraph border.
When you see it being inserted, are you typing for example three asterisks in the text?
- No, I am not putting in asterisks, no page or paragraph divider at all. I have tried the 'undo` but it just undoes what ever is in the undo queue. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.I thought you said that you inserted asterisks as a divider and that those characters convert into (becomes replaced with) a dotted line? Or did I misunderstand your description?
In the full version of Word you should be able to click the arrow on the Undo button and see a list of commands that has recently been executed by Word. That may not be possible in Word Online.
I put in a line of asterisks to act as a time elapse, a divider. I am writing a novel. It is since then that it has happened. It might be the border mechanism that is involved. How do I get it off?
Immediately when you see the line being inserted, choose to Undo. That should revert to the original asterisks.
