how to get rid of a line in word
To get rid of the line, put the cursor directly above it and select Borders and Shading from the Format menu. Click the None box and click OK. To prevent the automatic insertion of borders, select AutoCorrect Options from the Tools menu, click the AutoFormat As You Type tab, and uncheck Border lines.n Word 97, the menu item is AutoCorrect and the check box is labeled simply Borders. In several places, my Word document has a horizontal line that I did not enter and do not want. I can't remove the line, because the cursor moves right through it.
