Subject: Weird Word 2003 Problem - Can't delete Lines
Hi All,
This is totally weird.
I have a document that I am creating. I have copied text from a legacy
document into the new document.
A line was drawn next to the text, and was copied into my new document.
I cannot delete the line. Nothing I do works. I've tried:
- select, right-click > Cut
- select and press Delete
- select and click Ctrl + X
Now for the REAL Weirdness:
If I go into the legacy document, I can delete the line! So I will...
But it would be nice to know what is going on here!
