Oh, bless you, Mayrie! That is it! I need to save this one for posterity.
With a new hard drive and Office load, this was the perfect time to change all
those preferences.
For those in Word 2007, type ALT Fword optionsproofingAutoCorrect
OptionsAutoFormat As You Typeand change that and any of the other autoformat
items you wish to not invoke like (quotes, fractions, hyphens,, bullets etc.)

Hi Guys,
I tried to see what you all are seeing, but my screen reader
didn't want to tell me there was anything to see. However, in case this is
relevant, and please forgive me if it isn't, there is a setting in word's
autocorrect features that needs to be turned off wherein three asterisks are
turned into a borderline if the option is not disabled. If this isn't the
problem, I'm really sorry for having put my nose in where it was completely
uninformed. If, perhaps these instructions might help, and a borderline is
what is appearing, here are instructions from the proofreading guidelines that
might fix the problem.
Stop
conversion to border lines:Go to Tools
Menu (short cut = alt T),
Click on
"Autocorrect Options"click on tab
"AutoFormat As You Type"Uncheck box
labeled "Border Lines"asterisks (and
equal signs, dashes, etc.) will no longer convert themselves to lines (or
borders).
Hope that was helpful.

I have found that, if I first make 3 blank lines, then go back and
put the 3 asterisks on the middle line, Word doesn't do this. It shows the 3
asterisks as it should.

Hi, Pamela!
What you have is when you type three asterisks and hit enter. You
can undo it immediately with CTRL Z, but otherwise you need to copy and paste
the page in to a plain text notepad file and then copy above it and paste
into
the original document and then the bottom, with a blank line between and
return to type the three asterisks.
I would love to find a simpler way and am more than open to suggestions
if others have better workarounds.
Thanks!

Does anyone know what this square-dotted
line is? When I put my cursor over it, it gives me
a double line with an arrow above and below the lines?
I'm using Word 2007 to do the proofing. I
can't delete it the normal ways and I have all
formatting marks turned on.
Has anybody encountered this
before??
This is what it looks like:
We'll be
waiting a long time for that perfect husband, and we'll
be awfully disappointed during the waiting.Here’s the
difference:***You

Thanks for any help,
