Strange line on my Word document
Each time I open a new, blank page in Word, there is a strange line in the top left corner - like an underline - and it is resisting all attempts to delete it!
Does anyone know the secret?

Another thought, could it be something within the header area?
Alternately try the clear all formatting option and see if it's still there.
I was in 'Normal' view (as I think I always have been), br, but in 'Print Layout', it does disappear. The trouble is, it shows on documents and not everyone will use 'Print Layout' to view them, will they?
This happened once before when I inadvertently clicked something. I can't remember what I did to get rid of it. I had to clear something, I think.
It doesnt print, and there doesnt seem to be a way to get rid of it that I can see :S Most people seem to think it's to show you are not in print view. It's a standard thing that's been there forver so I don't think others viewing the document will worry about it.
Thanks, br!
I had someone contact me about that problem a couple of weeks ago. All his insertions were date stamped. :O In the paperback. That people were buying...
Word can be very dangerous in the wrong hands.
*an orange can be dangerous in the wrong hands :P
If you insert a space with 'track changes' and don't accept it but turn off the viewing, you will have a vertical line appear to the side of the text, in the printed book version.
Oranges are very dangerous. I will never attempt to peel one without Marigolds and a blindfold.
Mr Robots has an inane ability to put one over us and make us suffer by trying to work him out!
Don't copy and paste from outline view I think is the lesson.
Do everything in 'Print' view. I've never had a problem. Or, at the very least, switch to 'Print' view before printing or copy and pasting.
Thank you, HA!
