Just press ctrl-Z Go to the format menu and the use borders and shading. You should now see another mini screen with the dotted lines which you can click on to remove. (this is a hugely frustrating feature of Microsoft Word. I used the three asterisks by mistake and its taken me more than two weeks before I could figure out how to remove the line produced in the middle of my document).

Why does your Microsoft Works documents have paragraph marks?

Whenever you open a document in Microsoft Word, whether it was created in Word or Works, you can choose whether the unprintable "white space" characters such as end-of-paragraph, blank space, and tab are displayed on the screen or not by clicking the Show/Hide Paragraph Mark button on the Standard Toolbar (the button that has a paragraph mark on it). Every time you click the button, it toggles the state between show and hide. In either case, those characters are not printed when you print the document on paper.

Where do you place an asterisk?

The most common reason to place an asterisk in a document is to indicate a footnote: a further explanation of a particular piece of the document that would not be in general fitting with the rest of the document (explanations or definitions of obscure terms are common footnotes).In the document itself, the asterisk is placed immediately after the item to which the footnote will later expand.Then, at the bottom of the pertinent page, and starting with an asterisk, add the footnote explanation.Asterisks are not the only symbols which indicate footnotes. When two or three footnotes appear in a single page, it is not uncommon to see the dagger (†) and double dagger (‡) along with the asterisk, especially in older documents.An alternative style of notation is to number references: using a superscripted or bracketed number in place of the asterisk, dagger, etc.
