There is a solid horizontal line that somehow appeared at the bottom of a 
page of MS Word text immediately below the last line of text.  Trying to 
delete it by selecting and then backspacing does not do the job. Erasing text 
immediately above it causes the line to move up one text line. Trying to 
remove it by using the "underline" icon also fails. It is very importan thtat 
this line be removed.  Any hints will be appreciated. 

Hi,

For an explanation of how such a line is created and instructions for 
removing it, see the section entitled "Lines of Various Shape and Thickness 
That Stretch Across Your Pages" on my Web page at 
http://www.makeofficework.com/mysterious_behavior.htm . See also

Try switching to "normal" view to see if the line still shows up. I'm not 
sure , but It may be a page break line that you are seeing in print layout 
view. It could also be a border--try selecting the line and clicking on the 
"no border" button. Hope this helps.
