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.
Thanks Harold and Jonathon.
I tried clicking at its left with mouse-pointer-right (I think that's
called mouse-pointer-3), and got a pop-up menu. Selecting Default (at
top) rm'ed the HR. Thanks.
The HR was produced by inserting several _'s starting at left margin,
then hitting CR. After that, there was a paragraph mark above and below
the HR; however, placing cursor to left of top mark and hitting
backspace did nothing. I would have expected hitting delete would
delete to the right of the cursor; however, that did nothing also.
With two paragraph marks, one above the other, backspace does delete
one(I guess the top one). So, is it impossible to delete the 1st
paragraph mark to leave no paragraph marks in a document?

==========================
I'm on Linux. I just opened OOo's swriter and dummied up a page. Then
did the _'s<cr> and got the hard line.
Playing with it yielded the following information:
Place cursor on a blank line above the hard line if possible or at left
end and open at least two blank lines and then place cursor just above
hard line.
Press <Backspace> and the hard line goes away. Repeat for each and all
you wish to remove and each goes bye-bye.
