Several wrote me privately with suggestions along this line. I tried
every one of them, and that gray bar is apparently not an object. No
handles appear around it when looked at as text or as graphics. I can't
position the cursor on it nohow noway. <frustrated sigh>
There *are* bars used as part of the formatting for some of the heads,
Heading 1 in particular, and those are clickable. But those bars are
black, with reverse lettering for the head, and I could change the
shading on those just fine.
Where would one look for something that appears on an odd page only if
it isn't part of the page setup, isn't part of the header style, and
isn't an object?
