To anyone who uses "WORD":?

Do they just appear randomly? I've seen that before too. It's usually because I would try to divide two paragraphs with:

~~~~~

and then when I'd hit Enter, it would do that zig-zag line across. I just hit undo or hit backspace until it was gone. And then instead of hitting Enter after the tildes I just hit the down arrow and it worked for me. If that's not your problem...then I have no idea :-\ Try asking Word Help maybe? Good luck.

Taters, it sounds like you are viewing the document in Normal View (as opposed to Print Layout View) and you are seeing the page breaks, a series of small dots which go across the document laterally and extend beyond your margins.

Change the view to Print Layout and they will disappear, replaced with the top and bottom margins, plus headers and/or footers if you have them.

Those lines are there to tell you that you've made a spelling or grammar error. You can get rid of them by correcting your error, or by disabling the spellcheck / grammar check feature.

Right click and fix the grammar errors or right click and say ignore.

May be you have the underline tool on.
