Word 2000 doc black dotted line appeared which I cannot delete

[Guest]

In a long Word 2000 document I have made several alterations. One of these
manipulations has cause a heavy dotted line to appear. This dotted line now
moves as I add further typing to the document.
I have tried all methods to delete the line but it simply appears in a
differnet position. The line is printed and I don't want it to be on the
print.

Hi,

We can go to the Word Normal mode and click on View > Footnotes and
click on Footnote Separator
If we get the line appearing there then delete the line
I guess that should work if I am understanding it correctly

Since there is nothing in that article that mentions the Footnote Separator,
and since the problem you describe sounds much more like an automatic border
than a footnote separator, I suggest you read the article again.
