how do I delete horizontal lines created by using the hyphen key

[chagui]

To type up a signature line by using the hypen /shift key to create a
signature line, somehow it gets highlighted and creates line break into my
text. I try deleting it by using the deleting key. It just won't delete.
How do I get rid of this line? Also tried highlighting it and deleting it.

It's a Border on the previous paragraph.

To create a line to write on, set a tab stop where you want the line
to end, and turn on the Underscore leader in the Format Tabs panel.
