Default ###

If under Tools AutoCorrect Options, AutoFormat as You Type, the Border lines
box is checked, it you type ### and the press Enter, a border will be
created.

If at that point you press the backspace key, the border will be undone,
leaving the ###.

If you enter some other text, and the go back to the position immediately
following the border (that is at the beginning of the next line) and press
the backspace key, the border will be removed without leaving the ###.

If the Border lines box is not checked, a border will not be created by
pressing the Enter key after typing ###.

The above was determined through performing the steps mentioned, i.e. by
testing.

John: The autocorrect feature to which I pointed the asker explains how
entering ### and hitting enter simply applies a border. If you have that
feature turned OFF, your Word won't do it. Did you test to see what
Suzanne and I are talking about?

How can you NOT have a paragraph marker after the line, you type ### and
hit enter.???? It does and it works both in Word 2000, and 2003 for me.
You still have the ### signs though

I would be very surprised to find that this worked, especially since
there
is no paragraph mark after the line, which is a border.

How do I permanently remove a line generated by typing ### and then a
hard
return?
