removing lines from a word document

[peterk]

In a new job I have inherited various files that I need to tidy up. One
issue is lines across the page that I can't delete. Selecting the paragraphs
above and below a line and hitting delete has not worked. If I click on the
line as for a drawing object, nothing happens. If I point to the line, my
cursor changes to a horizontal double line with vertical arrows, so I can
drag the line up or down. If I adjust page margins the lines auto adjust to
the new margins.

What have I got, and how do I deal with it?

Thanx
