Dear Ms. Byte,
When I type 3 or 4 dashes and then press ENTER, an automatic border line appears in my document. I know I can press CTRL+Z to undo it right after it happens, but how can I stop this from happening in the first place? It is seriously frustrating!
Sincerely – Mary L.
Dear Mary L.,
MSWord has several automatic formatting options that can be very frustrating – this is one of them! MSWord will drop in automatic border lines when you type 3 or more dashes, equal signs, and underscores. Watch this short video to see how to turn off automatic border lines.
Sincerely – Ms. Bytes
Word Options
Here is some additional advice: spend some time looking at Word Options. There are many features that can be customized – turned on or off. There are many more just in the Proofing section! But don’t stop there… explore all of them. Happy Learning!
