Horizontal square dotted line
I keep getting a horizontal dotted line, the dots are small squares. I cannot get rid of this line. Can someone give me any idea what to do?
Sorry, I may not have described the problem accurately. It is difficult. I thought maybe the line was associated with a border function, and maybe the asterisks used as a break line between paragraphs, pages, could have something to do with it. The undo mechanism does not work because sorry if I mislead you, the horizontal dash line does not appear with any deliberate action. I have written to Microsoft Word but received no response from then and it was before writing to you. So altogether I am at a loss!!

- Can you upload a copy of the document, or send a copy to me at dougrobbinsmvp[atsymbol]gmail[dot]com
- Sorry, really thought I had solved the line problem but no, it's back again.
- I am delighted to say I have found the cause of the annoying dotted horizontal lines and eliminated them. It is in Borders, and is just a simple click of 'none'. There are two 'nones' and I found clicking the second one did the trick. Thanks for your help.
