How can I delete a black line in my word document?

[lostincyberspace]

I have this black line that I can't delete. I have tried to select and
delete but it won't work. I noticed that if I insert a new table below the
black line, it has a new black line on top of the table.

The line is probably a paragraph border. See

G'Day Lost,

The line is probably related to the paragraph marker
(¶) that is immediately before it.

Select this, and look a:
Format>Borders and shading
At the Left hand side, click the Top box (None).
