You haven't added a self-standing line. Tools -> Autocorrect -> Apply border determines when to create such a border. To remove the border, with cursor in the preceding paragraph, right click -> Paragraph -> Borders tab and clear the lower line in the diagram. It's worth investigating all the autocorrect options to set them as you want them. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
