I have a line in a Word document that won't delete. It doesn't respond to border, table or underline commands.

Question

I don't think it's a virus because it's just in this one document. I can type over it as if it were an underline, but the underline function is not on. I can't seem to highlight it to do anything with it. If I keep hitting enter, it will drop down to the next page, but as soon as it goes to the next page, the line duplicates and then I have two lines. The first line, then, goes back to where it was. I can delete the second line but not the first.

Answer 1

Can't you just copy what you need from the document without copying that line and paste it to a new document?

Answer 2
