unwanted horizontal lines being automatically generated

....Another option if you don't want to disable the AutoFormat feature - Set
a Dash Leader tab @ 0.19" (approx. depending on font & font size) which will
provide you with the --- when you press tab & will not convert to a border
when you press return.

One additional alternative to avoid disabling the feature - when you key the
--- and press return, immediately type Command+Z (or use the AutoCorrect
Options button) to Undo the AutoFormat change.

Hello Joek,

I got a "404 - not found" page.

Sorry - I messed up the URL - it should be

Interesting - I took a look at the Tools/Autocorrect... as you
suggested and discovered that boarders were not checked. I did try
your other suggestion to get rid of them and there again found that
borders were set to none. However, after highlighting text above and
below a line and clicking on something other than none then checking
on none again, I got the border to move. Doing this several times I
eventually "chased" the horizontal lines off of the page. So I got it
cleaned up. Thanks

I'll be trying your alternatives on the January issue of the
newsletter. Thanks for the tips!

I was unable to find a "no border" option. I eventually got rid of the horizontal rule (or line) by doing undo many, many times.
