In my opinion, itвЂ™s one of the most irritating things in Word that I have ever encountered. The fix is so easy even a cave man can do itвЂ¦.as long as heвЂ™s comfortable with using a mouse and keyboard, of course.

On a blank line in Microsoft Word, you enter a series of underscores, perhaps to create a line like the one in the image below to separate the two paragraphs. As soon as you hit the Enter key, the disaster strikes because now you canвЂ™t delete the line. If you were to add a series of underscores on a line that has text (see third line), and then hit the Enter key, there wonвЂ™t be a problem. The problem is only experienced when you do this on a blank line (see 5th line).

I typed a series of underscores and then pressed the Enter key, which created a bold line. #How do i delete horizontal line in word series# If my cursor is above the thick line at the end of line 4, pressing the Enter key simply moves the horizontal line down. If I create some space above and below the bold line, select the area above and below the line with my mouse and then delete the entire area, it sure will delete the line. The bold line is practically invisible to Word and Word canвЂ™t delete what it canвЂ™t see. DonвЂ™t bother copying these paragraphs to a new Word document because you will be copying the problem to the new document. LetвЂ™s say you delete all the text below the line (the second paragraph in the above image). You just created yet another serious problem for yourself. Now there is absolutely no way for you to go down below the line and add any text. Remember, the line behaves as if it were вЂњinvisibleвЂќ to Word. Even if you select the area that contains the line, you just canвЂ™t delete it.

ItвЂ™s like Jason in the movie Friday the 13th, you just canвЂ™t kill him. #How do i delete horizontal line in word movie# The solution works in most, if not all, versions of Microsoft Word. However, IвЂ™ve tested it only on the newer versions of Microsoft Word, up to Word 2019.ДЇirst let me explain whatвЂ™s going on. If you type 3 of the following characters consecutively in a blank row, that doesnвЂ™t have any text, and then press the Enter key, Word creates a border around that paragraph.

In the image below, I typed each of the above characters 3 times, without a space between them, and hit the Enter key. After you hit the Enter key, you wonвЂ™t see the 3 characters that you typed, you will only see the horizontal line that canвЂ™t be deleted. The horizontal line is actually a border created by Word at the bottom of the paragraph. If you keep pressing the Enter key, you keep on creating a new paragraph that contains the border at the bottom of the paragraph. What youвЂ™ve experienced is the default behavior in Word that you can change. The easiest way to get rid of it is to use the Ctrl+Q combination on your keyboard.
