Re: black square dots

[Barbara G.]

To get rid of those maddening square black dot line things, this is what I did and it worked! Highlight the entire work at least one paragraph before and one paragraph after the dam square black dots, then press Ctrl Q. Worked for me - they vanished. :-]

I can't get rid of a line of square black dots running across the page on
every page of a specific document I'm writing. It seems to have its origin
when I typed a line of asterisks to break up two sections. All I can do is
move it to the bottom of the page. I can't figure out how to delete it. It
is maddening and I don't want to have to re-type or cut and paste the whole
document (now 75 pp. and growing). Help!! Thanks.

It can also get rid of a lot of other direct formatting that you may or may
not have wanted to keep. Did you read the article?
