Word Text Borders Won't go Away

Guest

I created text borders by pressing the shift+8 key continuously until a
dotted line was created the entire width of the page. These lines were used
to separate line items in text. I went to "Format"+ "Borders & Shading" and
attempted to remove all borders from my document. All borders were then
removeable except for a few. They seem to stick to the bottom of a page or
the top. I have not entered any data into footnotes or headers. Any
suggestions on how to rid my document of these stubborn borders?

Thanks!

Perhaps you've inadvertently enabled page borders? In Format | Borders and
Shading, click the "None" option on the Page Border tab.

-- I did try. I have tried every conceivable setting I could think of under
"Format/ Borders/Shading". I have a couple of very stubborn lines that
refuse to go away at the bottoms of a few pages. I have tried deleting the
last few items on the pages (thinking these borders were attached to those
blocks of text. They just magically reattach the the "new" last item on the
page. If I insert space & force them to the next page, the border line
remains at the bottom of that page, but also creates a new one on the top of
the next page. Any other suggestions?
