Prev: Word 2007 Page Margin Question

From: katko on 25 Apr 2010 00:39
So you inserted it and there was no light gray accent bar horizontally above
it?! There is in mine and it's quite stubborn. Maybe it's somehow something
set up for all footers or something. Desperate to finish this project, I
covered it with a white box and inserted the portrait page numbering on those
landscape pages. I'm still curious to know how to get rid of it, but my
workaround should hold I guess.

As for the word page after it...thanks for making me doubt the numbering I
put in my entire book! ha ha. I have section page numbers, though, and I
think it looks pretty good. I'll run it by the others who are
proofing/providing input. Thanks for responding! I'm even more curious now.

With the selection in the word Page in the foote, rGo to the Home tab of the
Ribbon and from the Paragraph Section, click on the Borders pulldown and you
will see that the Top Border item has an Orange Background, indicating that
a Top Border is applied to the paragraph. Click on that item to remove the
border or select the No Border item.

Well, my replies to katko and to Doug have disappeared, so let's see whether
I can post a reply to myself.

It would appear that some word in the messages I have posted previously is
being filtered. Another reply this morning appeared briefly and then
vanished. I'm investigating.

From this description, if I had read it carefully, it should have been
obvious that the "object" in question is a paragraph border (as I discovered
last night when I investigated further; unfortunately, the reply I posted
then was eaten by the server). But I took you at your word when you said you
knew how to deal with the paragraph borders that "that 'magically' appear
when you use repeated hyphens or underscores."
