unwanted lines on a document

[tknup]

I typed a 23 page paper and a few pages have unwanted lines and I can not get
rid of them. Any help?

Do you mean lines of text or drawing lines, borders, underlines, or the
like? A clearer description will help us troubleshoot your problem.

straight lines across the page kind of like enclosing text.... looks like
some form of unwanted bracketing..

I'm having a hard time visualizing lines *across* the page "enclosing" text,
but see is this is your problem:

Other possibilities might be associated with change tracking or comments.

I can't get rid of the lines in the text.... I cant delete or copy and paste
to get rid of them. Any ideas?

They look like borders to me. Did you look at

If you had, you would not be posting back with further questions.)
