Can't remove black lines separaters

[Max57TBird]

I was writing a document and used a partial row of ************ (my way of reminding myself of some action needed). When I hit "Enter" it turned into a double black line. I tried backspace, delete, I even tried copying the paragraph without the offending lines to the clipboard and pasting it to a NEW PAGE. Guess what, it reappeared. I tried "Help" and decided it must have something to do with automatic numbering, etc., but I don't know what.
How can I get rid of the double lines? Thanx Lane

The line is a paragraph border. Right click on the paragraph above the black line and select Paragraph. On the Borders tab, set the bottom border to be None.

In the event that you use repeated markers such as ---, ===. ___ in your text, autoformatting will turn these into continuous lines; Ctrl-Z immediately will undo them. You can disable the option to generate them. Consider using Comments as text markers for editing; Navigator will allow one move speedily to any Comment.

Edit: to see how to turn their autodrawing off, look up "borders;automatic drawing on/off" in the OO Help file.
