How to delete a horizontal line in a Word document
Trying to delete a horizontal line in Word can be so frustrating. You try to delete it or even select it and it just will not go away.
The reason is - it’s not a line, it is a paragraph border.

OMGoodness...I spent 20 minutes on various Google searches and everyone kept pointing towards "select line and hit backspace"...as-if I was that sTuPiD. Anyhow, your video was fantastic and fixed my doc. Concise and instruction tempo was 100%. THANK YOU! Also, my issue was in Google Docs and the formatting tools were in different locations, but your video was all I needed to understand enough to look at the Format tab. For those using Google Docs you will find this at: Format>Paragraph Styles>Borders and Shading.

*FYI:* When you type a series of hyphens or underscores and Word autocompletes it into a full line across the page, it appears that Word formats the autocompleted line as a *border.* 'You' didn't add a border - Word did.
Thank you so much! I'm working on a 320 page document and accidentally put one of these lines on page 318. I was panicked! Thank you so much for this video :)
