Plus you get to meet a lot of interesting aliens. More or less irrelevant aside, but to show appreciation: All the denizens of my home Babylon 7 (improved model spaceship since Babylon 5 retirement) love your work and would like you to be our SCIENCE OFFICER! The pay is good and you live longer near the speed of light. However, when I highlighted the whole paragraph above the line (which must have been the proper "area of concern"), VOILA!!! - the irritating little bugger of a dotted line whooshed through the event horizon into the black hole at the center of the Word galaxy, never again to see the light of day. Using your method, I initially underestimated the "area of concern" in that I first highlighted only a couple blank lines above and below the uneliminatable (what a glorious mouthful to pronounce!) dotted line and the line just moved upward after doing a DELETE. MEGA appreciation to you Jo (!) - I was starting to get dizzy with frustration.

Choose the left tab called "Border" (not the middle Page Border one which I am mistakenly showing you here, oops) then select 'None' and press OK. In the page layout ribbon that appears below the tab, click on 'Page Borders' | 4. Click on the tab marked 'Page Layout' | 3.

Picture 2 is how to remove previously set lines.Ĭlick on image to enlarge: 1. On the left hand side the lightning icon will appear and the option to permanently switch off the creation of border lines (highlighted) is the way to stop these lines at source. When you type a few hyphens - (without spaces, I just put them in to make it look more like a line of hyphens) and press enter, a solid line is created. you can use the option that appears just after you create one to nip future solid lines in the bud but for previously created lines see picture 2. Picture 1 is what happens when you create a solid line using the hyphens.

Word has its own autosave which is useful but I nearly always start a document in Notepad. If it's really important stuff I tend to write it directly into Evernote and I press Ctrl+S very frequently to make sure I've saved it.

I use Notepad more than I use any other software programme, before transferring text to whatever programme I want to save it in. If you get into real difficulty the only foolproof way I've found of wresting back control from recalcitrant text is to copy and paste it into Notepad (try C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe but if not it's Start > notepad ) which strips the text of all formatting allowing you to start from scratch. Click the 'None' setting in the left and then OK. Click on that and then click on the Borders tab on the left (you'll probably be on the default tab in the middle which is Page Border). Swear for a bit until you spot the word 'page borders' in the 'Page background' section of the ribbon thing. Highlight the area of concern and click on the Page Layout tab in the menu (File | Home | Insert | Page Layout). have something of text on both side of the offending line, select that and press ctrl+q ^^"

"You can also use the magic of ctrl+Q this resets the paragraph formating.
