That tells you how to avoid this automatic behaviour. What you've done is add part of the border to the paragraph - it is not a line of text. So to remove it, position cursor in the paragraph that precedes it, then Format -> Paragraph -> Borders, and you will see a grey box on the left. The line below it is the border that is set; click on the line to remove it. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
