How can I delete solid lines formed from lines of hyphens?

[Guest]

I typed a document in which I used lines of hyphens. Those lines turned into
solid lines which I want to delete. Please tell me how to do that. I am
using Microsoft Word 2000.

Your autoformat as you type settings has resulted in the hypens being
converted to a paragraph border. Format>Borders and Shading>Borders. In
the apply to window select paragraph and click the "None" pane on the left
of the dialog box.
