Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2007how to delete automatic borderline??
I have literally been searching the internet for hours trying to figure it out. It is the autocorrect border that appears when you type === and return. I know how to get rid of it if you undo in that moment, but I can't get rid of it now that it's already there!! have also tried "view formatting" which works on my pc laptop, but on this darn thing, it just gives you this stupid little square, that you can point at FONTS and it'll tell you what it's formatted as. it doesn't show all the paragraph signs and what not. Hello [whoever], I'm sure we can help you here, but it will help if you could mention your version of Word, and operating system, as there are so many versions. By the way, if you are on a Windows OS: You've landed in a discussion group for users of Mac versions of Word, which are subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) different from the PC versions. There are several people here who are experts in both Mac and PC, and they will probably come by soon, but if you're in a hurry you're likely to get quicker results in a discussion group for PC Word. Start here: http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/FlyoutOverview.mspx, and when posting mention the specific version you're using, such as Word 2003.

View Formatting does not bring up the paragraph marks on a PC either, I don't think--try hitting the ¶ on the standard or formatting toolbar, I forget which, to show nonprinting characters (which won't help with the border anyhow). > if it were on a pc, I would have already known how to do it. it's word > 2004. mac os x On 28/5/07 12:21 PM, in article 1180318910.143928.260840@u30g2000hsc.googlegroups.com, "lyh1124@gmail.com" > if it were on a pc, I would have already known how to do it. it's word > 2004. mac os x My obsequious apologies for my failure to infer that from your ambiguous post.

The autocorrect applies a bottom border to the previous paragraph, so you can eliminate the border by selecting the paragraph, and using the Formatting Palette's Border and Shading pane to delete the border (or select the paragraph and choose Format/Borders and Shading to delete the border) > have also tried "view formatting" which works on my pc laptop, but on > this darn thing, it just gives you this stupid little square, that you > can point at FONTS and it'll tell you what it's formatted as. it > doesn't show all the paragraph signs and what not. If you're talking about the View/Reveal Formatting menu option, clicking on a paragraph with the bottom border will show that a border is applied in the popup. You can prevent this from happening by choosing Tools/AutoCorrect/AutoFormat As You Type, and unchecking the Borders checkbox in the Apply as you type section. THANK YOU. It doesn't work to highlight the paragraph (perhaps I wasn't highlighting correctly) but simply having the cursor in it, then going to format> borders worked. THANK YOU.
