Any word gurus who would like to lend a hend with the
following problem would be much appreciated:

I've made a line to section off part of the text in a word
document by entering a load of '-'s

e.g. ------------------------------------------------

I then hit return, turning them into a solid line slightly
lower down (almost like an underline).

Now, I have seem to have no way of deleting this. When I
hover the cursor over it, I get the "move up or down" arrow,
but there doesn't appear to be a way to erase it. I'm sure
there must be, any ideas how to go about it?

Thanks.

Just drag the cursor over it like you would to select text,
it only highlights a little part of the line but you can
delete it like you would text. Thats how mine works anyway.

switch to "normal view at the bottom left of your screen" an
high light them in there use backspace rather than delete.

use em-dashes for a line (ctrl+alt=-(on number keys
section)

I hope this helps

Thanks for the help guys, but neither of those suggestions
seem to work. It's word 2002 btw. Any other takers? :-S

if it won't select, select everrything else and paste it
into a new document.

Cheers Anus, that did the trick. I owe you a pint (no pun
intended given your earlier topic).

Thanks to everyone who tried to help.

G'night.

options -> tools -> language -> select...

if you have welsh selected, uncheck the box " sticky 'F' "

Obviously the correct answer would have been that when you
use a series of ----------- signs Word changes it into a
border line seperator. The easiest way to remove this is to
make sure you have the Formatting toolbar active (Veiw >
Toolbars) and simply remove the border using the borders
icon group
