MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / September 2006Word, there has appeared a dash below the curser, how to delete?
In Word 2003, there has appeared a dash mark below the curser. I cannot get below it to delete it. How do I get rid of it? Switch from Normal to Print Layout view. What you're seeing is the end-of-document marker. It is always displayed in Normal view; there is no way to get rid of it.  SignatureSuzanne S.

You've never worked in Normal view? Note that the "dash" I'm talking about is a short, heavy black line at the bottom left margin of the document. It will not move with the insertion point. If you have something that moves with the insertion point, then it's something else. It is especially handy for people who don't display nonprinting characters because it indicates where the end of the document is. If you've got dozens of empty paragraphs below your last line of text (which will ultimately result in an extra, blank page being "printed"), you'll see a lot of space between your text and the end-of-document marker. Or if you have added Spacing Below to your paragraph, you'll see that space between the paragraph mark (or insertion point) and the EOD marker. SignatureSuzanne S.

This heavy black line is just below the insertion point and moves down the page with the insertion point. Any other ideas. Thanks so much for your thoughts. > You've never worked in Normal view?

How do I get rid of it? But does it move *across* the page with the insertion point? SignatureSuzanne S.

I was *wondering* what you meant about moving with the insertion point. Okay, the end of document marker moves down but not across the page. Now I get it. Yep, sounds like the end of document marker on karencoombs question. > But does it move *across* the page with the insertion point? > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >>> will not move with the insertion point. If you have something that moves >>> with the insertion point, then it's something else. <snip> |
