I cannot delete a line on a Microsoft Word Document?

Question

I created a line when I made a foot note. I deleted the footnote, but the line still exists. I can't get rid of it. I can't undo it either whereas I did it some time ago and the document has been closed, saved, and reopened.

Captin No Nothing: WRONG! Just made 2 documents with the same line.

Answer 1

First check that you have deleted the little number which was inserted beside the text to which you added the footnote.
If you have deleted this and the line still exists change the page view to 'Normal'.
Click on the 'View' menu and choose 'Footnotes'
In the bottom panel click on the drop-down arrow following 'All Footnotes'
Click on 'Footnote Separator', this will bring the line into view and you can select it and delete it.

Quick fix for you, copy and paste the entire contents (if the undeletable line is highlighted when copying, omit it) and make new document.

Can do this in about 10 seconds, easy fix :)
