MS Word gurus?

I'm a touch on the frustrated side with a formatting issue in Word..

While writing, I pasted in some Japanese characters. Now, on every subsequent page, there's a line rule just under the text, above the page numbers. It's not part of the footer, and if I delete it then hit enter again, it magically reappears. It cannot be selected.

I'm on Mac OS X 10.4.5, using Word 11.2.



This is page 58, before the insertion of the Japanese block.



...and this is after.




See? It isn't in the code, nor is it in the footer.

Any suggestions for what ticky box I might have to uncheck or what auto-formatting setting to look for is much appreciated.

I made a line like that by going to Format->Borders and Shading. It's a bottom border on the paragraph.

1. Press CTRL-A to select all the text in your entire document.
2. Go to Format->Borders and Shading.
3. In the Borders tab, choose the "None" setting.
4. Click "OK".

See if that kills it...
