MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / July 2007Unidentified Object
Dear experts, I received a letter from other party which I want to use it as a sample letter. However, in the sample letter, I see a gray (or dimmed) line under the authorized signature (the end part of the letter). As the line is no use to the letter, I tried to click the line and delete it but the line could not be clicked. I then tried to copy the letter contents without the line to a new document, the line was still there. As I've no clue what the line is about, what can I do to delete it. Please advise. Thanks a million. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CantGetRidOfLine.htm  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > Dear experts, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thanks a million. Dear Graham, Thanks for your reply. However, I still cannot delete the line even though I select the whole sample letter and press Ctrl + Q. Please note that the line is a short and dimmed one (something like the words in Header & Footer under normal view). I believe the creator wanted to draw a line for the signer to sign under the authorized signature. I cannot select it and I cannot choose "None" in the Format l Borders & Shading. Please advise anything I can do about this line. Thanks in advance. > http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CantGetRidOfLine.htm > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > > > Thanks a million.

Hi Graham The problem is solved by luck. I followed the instruction by your previous link to delete a paragraph after a paragraph. When a delete a single-lined paragraph, the problem line disappeared. The paragraph is like the one below: HS Corporation Euronote xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx I undo the delete and further examined the paragraph. I found there was a small character 'l' before the letter 'H'. When I pointed my mouse to the letter 'H', an small icon appeared like a small paper with a fold at the bottom right hand corner. When I delete the small character, the problem line disappeared. So, I believe the small character is the key for this problem. From my above description, do you know what is the cause for the problem? If you still want to see the file, I'll send it to you after some modifications since some sensitive client's information are there. Thanks & regards. > Send it to the link on my web site and I will have a look. > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > >>> > >>> Thanks a million. What you are describing is a footnote reference mark. What you thought was an I was actually (most likely) a superscript 1. The popup would show you the content of the footnote if there were any, but apparently it is empty. The line you asked about is therefore the Footnote Separator. If the footnote has no content, then it doesn't hurt to delete it (which you do by deleting its reference mark). To see how this works, however, in a copy of the document that contains the reference mark (the thing you thought was an I), double-click on the reference mark or use View | Footnotes to open the footnote pane. You'll see a superscript 1 followed by the insertion point. Type some text in the footnote, then click the close button. Now when you mouse over the reference mark, the popup will show the text you typed. To create a footnote from scratch, you can use Insert | Reference | Footnote or, if you don't need to change any of the default settings, Ctrl+Alt+F. SignatureSuzanne S.
