Horizontal lines problem

[Guest]

I have a horizontal continuous line in my document that I can't seem to
delete.

I can't get the cursor on it at all - it's as if it is part of some
background formatting.

The document was created by me from scratch. I remember putting a line there
by typing "---" followed by return (which creates lines like this) and I also
moved that whole paragraph up the document to the page where the lines are
now but I just can't get it to go away.

Even if I select all the text around the line and "Cut" - the text is
removed but the line remains there. Anyone know a reason why this could
happen and how to remove it?

Hope you can help

Thanks

Janice

I think my problem is exactly the same as yours, so where do we get the
answer or how do we get it if it's already posted in this discussion group?
