As far as I know it has not been answered adequately on ANY of the forums. Having now spent the better part of a day (endless blog surfing and Google queries) dealing with this problem (in MS Word 2007), I want to point out that a number of people in the replies were suffering the same problem as me - but it was NOT being solved by the solutions posted. When the horizontal line is in a footer it is more of a *censored*. One Word makes this problem different for many. Regarding the "How to remove the horizontal line from MS Word" problem.
I hope this helps someone else out there! It was a real hassle figuring this out, over an hour of work wasted. What I had to do, was select a table on my document, right click, then go to "borders and shading", then go to the "page borders" tab, and erase any borders that were there (by clicking "none"). For example, text would just pass through it when I typed or deleted (as if it were part of the background), and if I started a new page, the black line would be there too. This line that "appeared" was unlike any I had seen appear on MS Word documents before, as there was no apparent way to manipulate it. To make things worse, I was so focused on altering my data table (and fatigued), that I didn't make the immediate connection that this line which appeared near the bottom of every page was related to the page border commands I recently issued. So I didn't even know that I mistakenly inserted a thick black line "border" on the bottom of every page in my document. The "border" and "page border" tabs have nearly identical border-manipulating button layouts, thus its very easy to confuse the two functions if you're working fast. In my haste, I accidentally went to the tab that said "Page Border" (which allows you to set up borders around every page) rather than "Borders" (which applies to a table or subset of a table that you have selected). I wanted to highlight certain cells with a thick border in a table in my MS Word document, so I highlighted the table, right clicked, and selected "borders and shading". In a nutshell, this problem appeared for me when I incorrectly altered a table border in a Microsoft Word 2003 document. I hope it works for others out there.I ran into a similar problem in Microsoft Word 2003, but for a different reason.
HOW DO I DELETE HORIZONTAL LINE IN WORD TRIAL
BTW, I am not a tech or MS Word guru by any means - I just got lucky with trial and error - eventually.
HOW DO I DELETE HORIZONTAL LINE IN WORD UPDATE
Allelujah.įeel free to post this on your site as an update - it may save many others time and PAIN.
Repeating this once on another page saw it disappear on every one of my 365 page footers. At this point, selecting the "no borders" option once more – finally deleted the line. It would appear that it jumps the line up and down – the important thing is that the line moves.īECAUSE - this weird wrinkle turned out to be a blessing, BECAUSE, it meant I could now highlight the page number (now above the line), the dreaded horizontal line, AS WELL as the space BELOW the dreaded line. Some people have reported that it jumped the line up. But the *censored* line was STILL there! At this point I was pretty much ready to give up. In my case it jumped the line DOWN so it appeared BELOW (instead of above) my page number. ) a border clearing issue BUT, as was noted several times, highlighting the little one could of the line (in my case next to the page number) and then selecting "no borders" did NOT get rid of the line.
Let me be clear - it is NOT a footnote separator issue. The problem was a horizontal line being automatically placed in the FOOTER section of the document.
