line on soft page break

[Kim K]

I am not sure on this one so any help is really appreciated.

User has a report in word that has only soft page breaks. He has titles
with bold lines underneath. These are not inserted lines, or a part of a
footer, franky I am not sure waht they are or how to get rid of them.

If I place the cursor infront of the text and hit enter to push it down the
to next page will take the text and line down to the next page, but then
leaves the original line on the previous page. (????) so now i have 2, if I
backspace the text, then I have 2 lines - one above and one below the text.
Can't delete the lines.

Del, backspace, trying to place the cursor to the left and del - nothing
gets rid of it.

Question is how do I see what it is and how do I delete it?

Sounds like you have a paragraph border -- put the cursor in the
paragraph the line is below, and use the Borders and Shading
formatting panel to get rid of it.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

When you press Enter at the beginning of a heading, you insert a new
paragraph in the heading style (which has a border). You can apply the
Normal style to this empty paragraph, and it will no longer have the border.
But you should really not be using empty paragraphs to push a heading to the
next page. Instead format the heading as "Page break before" (Format |
Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks).

If you don't want a border on the heading, then modify the style to remove
it.
