From: Marcus M Marcus M on 8 Feb 2010 05:26 I have just been editing a multi-page word document and something I did has made a dotted line appear. It goes across the page from margin to margin. Whatever I do to try to remove it doesn't seem to work. The line was not in the original so some I assume some key or setting I have touched has done it. The Word I am using is MS Office Word 2007 - something I find is a lot more fiddly than the older version I have used for years. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

From: Marcus M on 8 Feb 2010 11:37 Thank you both for your prompt response. Graham: I have followed the link you sent - it doesn't work for me. Suzanne: I see you as one of the co-authors. I recall I was looking at page breaks when the line first appeared. Does that help? Regards Marcus "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: > That's assuming it's not just a page break. > > -- > Suzanne S.

"Soft" page breaks are displayed (in Normal view) as a dotted line when you have nonprinting characters displayed. "Hard" (manual) page breaks are displayed in all views as a dotted line with the words "Page Break" in the center. But if this dotted line is a border, you may have to remove it from several successive paragraphs before you get rid of it entirely. -- Suzanne S.
