How can one remove a solid line that appears under a paragraph?

[Sensor1]

There is a solid horizontal line that somehow appeared at the bottom of a
page of MS Word text immediately below the last line of text. Trying to
delete it by selecting and then backspacing does not do the job. Erasing text
immediately above it causes the line to move up one text line. Trying to
remove it by using the "underline" icon also fails. It is very importan thtat
this line be removed. Any hints will be appreciated.

Hi,

For an explanation of how such a line is created and instructions for
removing it, see the section entitled "Lines of Various Shape and Thickness
That Stretch Across Your Pages" on my Web page at

Try switching to "normal" view to see if the line still shows up. I'm not
sure , but It may be a page break line that you are seeing in print layout
view. It could also be a border--try selecting the line and clicking on the
"no border" button. Hope this helps.
