I'm on Microsoft word, and I accidentally saved my document with one of these lines in it that you can form by doing this:

How do you get rid of it? I keep trying but I can't do it.
Thanks!
Highlight it and hit the backspace or delete key?
That's what I figured but you can't highlight it and press the backspace key. It usually works before you save it, but I saved it and it won't work now. Does anybody have any ideas?
Did you highlight and hit the delete key?
Yes, I did but it wouldn't highlight in the first place. It would just delete the blank spaces I had before and after the line.
If you cannot highlight it, you might try this:
1. Put your cursor at the beginning of the next line of text beneath the line.
2. Press the Backspace key until the line and the spaces before and after it are gone.
3. Save your work.
4. Then add whatever spaces or other text you need.
If you ever notice this happening again, immediately hit the Undo arrow at the top of your screen or press Ctrl + Z.
To get rid of the line in Microsoft Word, follow these steps:
1. Open your document in Microsoft Word.
2. Place your cursor at the beginning of the line.
3. Press the "Backspace" or "Delete" key on your keyboard until the line is completely removed.
If pressing the backspace or delete key is not working, it's possible that the line is not a regular text line, but rather a border or a horizontal line drawn using Word's drawing tools. In that case, follow these additional steps:
1. Place your cursor just above or below the line.
2. Go to the "Home" tab in the Word toolbar.
3. Look for the "Paragraph" section and click on the small arrow icon in the bottom-right corner of the section. This will open the "Paragraph" dialog box.
4. In the "Paragraph" dialog box, click on the "Borders" tab.
5. Under the "Setting" section, select "None" to remove the line.
6. Click the "OK" button to apply the changes and remove the line.
By following these steps, you should be able to remove the line from your Microsoft Word document.
