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.

Thanks Steve.
After "open at least two blank lines" by placing cursor
at left of top paragraph mark (I couldn't place it on the
hard line. Apparently the hard line is on the same
"physical" line as the 2nd paragraph mark.) However,
this resulted in not two blank lines but two hard lines.
<Backspacing> then erased these two, but left the original.
This seems counter-intuitive to me. I would have expected
something like what Jonathan described, i.e. selecting the
hardline and the doing Ctrl-X to delete it.

Can you send me direct a (very content reduced) copy of the file that is
giving you the problem? You know, copy the file, delete most everything
in it but allow enough to keep the problem and then change the contents
to "greek" words. (wnht a hhndmu ss oof qwerty. type content to protect
your privacy.) May be there is more than one thing happening here.
I'll post findings as a reply to this thread. Keeps bulk down on server.

OK - there is a bug in OOo 2.????
I got your file and opened it. The hardline is the only thing there and
it appears on 2nd type-able line. The cursor sits on empty line one. NO
amount of effort, including CTRL-whatever, works to eliminate it. Just
as you have indicated.
1) If there is a show-codes in OOo I haven't found it.
2) Saving to text destroys all formatting - not going to happen
3) Saving to .rtf does work. If document wasn't too far from
'standard' or compatible formats this works. see attached
The problem with zip files is they aren't editable when they need to be.
OOo -- take note of that. OK? OOo needs to have an option to write
uncompressed output for just such occasions as these. Space saving is
fine, but not at the expense of production.
If you look at the line starting with:
\pard\plain \ltrpar\s1\aspalpha... in the upper left section
and compare it to the upper right section you will see where it and the
subsequent \par \pard\plain \ltrpar\s1\asp.... lines were removed.
Keeping the line that has just \par } and saving the modified .rtf
back solves the problem. If you go to that line with \par } and
trace back to the line with the opening brace and delete open to close
braces and save, OOo will tell you the file is damaged next time you try
to open it and it won't open it.
I used vi to edit the .rtf! Wordpad might work OK in Windows??
That was fun! :)

ps the jpg is a bit crummy, but the pdf (next size up) is over 2 megs.
nobody wants to spend hours converting, zipping and unzipping,
converting files from other operating systems.
