Dear Suzanne,

Thanks for your reply and wonderful explanation. I got the cause for the
line now and learn more Word knowledge.

Thanks for your time again.

Cheers.

What you are describing is a footnote reference mark. What you thought
was
an I was actually (most likely) a superscript 1. The popup would show
you
the content of the footnote if there were any, but apparently it is
empty.
The line you asked about is therefore the Footnote Separator. If the
footnote has no content, then it doesn't hurt to delete it (which you do
by
deleting its reference mark).

To see how this works, however, in a copy of the document that contains
the
reference mark (the thing you thought was an I), double-click on the
reference mark or use View | Footnotes to open the footnote pane. You'll
see
a superscript 1 followed by the insertion point. Type some text in the
footnote, then click the close button. Now when you mouse over the
reference
mark, the popup will show the text you typed.

To create a footnote from scratch, you can use Insert | Reference |
Footnote
or, if you don't need to change any of the default settings, Ctrl+Alt+F.

Hi Graham

The problem is solved by luck. I followed the instruction by your
previous
link to delete a paragraph after a paragraph. When a delete a
single-lined
paragraph, the problem line disappeared. The paragraph is like the one
below:

HS Corporation Euronote xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx

I undo the delete and further examined the paragraph. I found there
was a
small character 'l' before the letter 'H'. When I pointed my mouse to
the
letter 'H', an small icon appeared like a small paper with a fold at
the
bottom right hand corner. When I delete the small character, the
problem
line
disappeared. So, I believe the small character is the key for this
problem.

From my above description, do you know what is the cause for the
problem?
If
you still want to see the file, I'll send it to you after some
modifications
since some sensitive client's information are there.

Thanks & regards.

Dear Graham,

Thanks for your reply. However, I still cannot delete the line
even
though I select the whole sample letter and press Ctrl + Q. Please
note that the line is a short and dimmed one (something like the
words in Header & Footer under normal view). I believe the creator
wanted to draw a line for the signer to sign under the authorized
signature. I cannot select it and I cannot choose "None" in the
Format l Borders & Shading. Please advise anything I can do about
this line.

Thanks in advance.

Dear experts,

I received a letter from other party which I want to use it as a
sample letter. However, in the sample letter, I see a gray (or
dimmed) line under the authorized signature (the end part of the
letter). As the line is no use to the letter, I tried to click
the
line and delete it but the line could not be clicked. I then
tried
to copy the letter contents without the line to a new document,
the
line was still there. As I've no clue what the line is about,
what
can I do to delete it. Please advise.

Thanks a million.
