Solid Line Across Page When Pasting (page-break ?) How To Get Rid Of It, Please ?

Hi,

Have installed my old Word from 1993 along with the new Word 2002 on to my
new XP PC.

Wow, is everything different.

All I want is to be able to do real simple word processing.

Anyway, when I cut and paste some text from one document into the one
I am working on, Word seems to put in a solid black line at the point wher
the pasting was done.

Any idea what this is ?

How do I get rid of it ?

How do I prevcent it from happening again ?

I thought that it might be what's apparently called a Page Break, but not so
sure that it is this.

Anyway, what do I do to get rid of it ?

Much thanks,

Bob

Bob,

To answer your questiion regarding the solid black line. It might be
appearing because you have Track Changes turned on in Word 2002. You can
turn it off by going into Tools, Track Changes and turning it off. It
should get rid of the black lines you are seeing.

Hi,

Thanks so much for help.

Didn't seem to work.

Let me describe the horiozontal line going across the page a bit better:

If I place the cursor (may not be calling it correctly; it's the marker that
looks like a Capital I, with a little horiz bar on top and bottom of the I)
two very small bars appear directly on top and bottom of this page line I'm
inquiring about..

It is then possible to drag the line up and down a bit.

Hope this describes it a bit clearer.

Much thanks for help,
Bob
