How to remove lines in word?

In microsoft word 2007 it is easy to make a line seperate by typing 3 dashes and pressing enter, like so

Normally I have no trouble removing these line seperates, but at the moment I have one I can't delete. I can't right click on it or anything, and even after deleting all of the text it remains.

How can I remove this thing, and why is it so hard to remove?

Wow, so even if you do ctrl+a to select all content in Word, then press del to delete, the divider is still present?

I did some testing and this isn't a horizontal line (oddly enough), when you type

You get a bottom-border, which you can turn off via the Home, Paragraph, Borders control:

alt text

Highlight all texts with the lines (or just over near the line if there's only one line), then click the border icon from the menu and select 'No Border'

If you select 'Bottom Border' you'll still see a dotted line. And if copy the text and paste elsewhere, the dotted line would still be there.
