Unwanted lines

I have been helping a friend with her university paper. She has put in some quotations in the paper. When she does this, an unwanted solid line appears below the quote and occasionally above it. We tried to delete it by backspacing the paragraph following the quote until the first word of the paragraph immediately followed the quotation. Then we press 'enter' to reformat the following paragraph. This seemed to get rid of the line.

However, the line appeared at the end of the page. No luck in deleting it. When we put the cursor over the line, it turned into the I beam and then the 2 small horizontal lines appeared as if it was a page break line.

How can we get rid of the unwanted line. Many thanks for any help.

Norm.
 
There is an auto feature under "Tools", "AutoCorrect", "Autoformat as you
type" TAB. Turn off "Border lines" if you don't want them anymore. Now, to
get rid of the line, place your cursor in the paragraph above the line,
click "Format", "Borders and Shading", on the "Borders" TAB click the "None"
box, then "OK".
