I would recommend as a professional that you use a discussion group like
this
to discuss and answer questions, not argue lest you give your users a bad
taste for your product.

If you want to win, okay. YOU WIN. Whatever it is you're trying to
prove,
consider it proven and you are the victor. As for me...I have a book
that's
done correctly now thanks to Doug. I'd rather be me.

It's still true, however, that the article Doug referenced applies to a
"line" that can't be removed and is a border.

My word was true. This border did NOT appear from repeated hyphens or
underscores. That was the help someone gave me earlier. This appeared
when
I inserted my border. I understand you may have been frustrated when
your
posts were not showing up, but there is no need to imply my word was
not
true. I used to do tech support so I know the temptation to think the
user
does not know what he or she is doing. It stinks to now be the user
and
have
that thought about you.

From this description, if I had read it carefully, it should have been
obvious that the "object" in question is a paragraph border (as I
discovered
last night when I investigated further; unfortunately, the reply I
posted
then was eaten by the server). But I took you at your word when you
said
you
knew how to deal with the paragraph borders that "that 'magically'
appear
when you use repeated hyphens or underscores."

Thanks for your efforts to help. I tried that (and tried again
after
reading
your post) but I'm quite sure it's not an object. I'm really
familiar
with
lines that are objects, even the ones that "magically" appear when
you
use
repeated hyphens or underscores. This did not happen.

When I created my page numbering, I chose a form with "Accent Bar"
in
the
title. When I try to remove the page numbering and/or the footer,
the
accent
bar remains. With "Select Objects" it acts like nothing is there.
I
can
click all around and on it, but nothing selects (unlike when I
select
an
actual object). The only way I can get its attention is to have the
i-bar
and then mouse over it - it changes the cursor to two horizontal
lines
with
an arrow above and below and allows me to move it vertically. This
reminds
me of sizing a row in a table.

In the Editing section of the home tab of the ribbon, use the
Select
pulldown and from it select the "Select Objects" item. You should
then be
able to select and delete the line.

Or, see the article "There is a line in my document that I can't
delete
because I can't select it. How did it get there, and what can I do
about
it?" at:

Sorry - in my zeal to solve the mystery, I forgot some important
info.
I'm
using Word 2007. I originally created my footer using (I
believe)
Page
Number - Bottom of Page - Accent Bar 2. I'm wondering if I
need
to
create
a brand new file and start over with page numbering. I'm
nervous -
it's
really six documents with a LOT of formatting and work that I
can't
afford
to
lose. I'd rather rig it with white boxes covering the footing,
publish to
PDF, and call it a day. Ideally, though, I would really like to
do
it
right
for efficient long term use.
