I've a very simple write file with what appears

when cursor is placed before the paragraph
mark, and then Delete key pressed, nothing
happens. Backspace has no effect either.
I can't move the cursor with arrow keys.
The only way I can get remove the HR is
Ctrl+Shift+Space (Default formatting).

I'm using OpendOffice.org 2.4.1 on ubuntu.
How can I select the HR and delete it with Ctrl+X?
How can I do the same with the paragraph mark?
Don't know about Ubuntu but in OOo 2.4.1 on Windows XP Pro I can click
*inside* the HR and then Ctrl-X deletes it. After clicking in the HR I
get green draggable "handles" at its corners and centres-of-sides; to
me that implies the HR is a "graphic" and can be treated as such.
For the paragraph mark, position the cursor to its left and hit
backspace. Again, that works on my Windows system ...
Sorry to reply to my own post. The above applies to HRs that are other
than "Plain". As Jonothon said, plain HRs are a paragraph style so click
at its left end and change the style to, say, Default. Then delete the
paragraph as normal.
