Wrestling with Page Numbering...
From this description, your line is clearly a paragraph border. The article
to which Doug referred you (http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...tRidOfLine.htm) does explain how to remove such borders. I discovered last night, upon further investigation, that there is in fact a yellow (not gray) border above the footer, and it can be removed, as Doug instructed, by turning off the Top Border or selecting No Border. I posted to this effect last night, but several of my posts last night and this morning have been eaten by the server because I evidently used a word the filters don't like. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "katko" wrote in message ... 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. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: 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: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...tRidOfLine.htm -- Hope this helps.

Doug Robbins - Word MVP, originally posted via msnews.microsoft.com "katko" wrote in message ... 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. |
