When I make a transitional break in my writing I type “***” between the paragraphs. Sometimes this becomes something else when I press return. Now I’m seeing this:
What is it, how did it get there, and most importantly, how do I remove it?
This is an effect of AutoCorrect. Go to Tools>AutoCorrect>AutoCorrect Options, Options tab. Here, Apply border is checked. Uncheck it to prevent the special sequences to create borders atop or below the paragraph:
-
---0.5pt single underline -
___1pt single underline -
===1.1pt double underline -
***4.5pt double underline -
~~~6.0pt double underline -
###9.0pt double underline
Since this adds borders to a paragraph, use Fromat>Paragraph, Borders tab to remove borders from already typed paragraphs.
