Thanks for your reply but I'm not looking for a more narrow line. I need the line that's created by typing 3 underscores (a thick, single line). However, Word is suddently inserting a double line instead of a single line and I don't know how to fix this.

You could always use Insert > Shape > Line which will give you total control over a line or use the Borders and Shading dialog to control/modify the line inserted by AutoCorrect as a border.

If you want someone here to look at it, save a sample document with the problem double-line border on OneDrive or Dropbox and post a link here.
Why a sample file is important for troubleshooting - - - - - - - and how to do it.
