more people are probably hit by the list managing mess, but the one that got me recently was a blue line of some sort. Some margin or page break or something. My attorney asked if I could help him remove the blue line from the middle of the page he was typing out on a contract we were working on. For the life of me, I was unable to remove the blue line in <10min of effort. I had to say sorry, talk to your tech guy.

My solution for these problems (kind of like turn off/turn on):
Create a new word document, and copy-paste stuff in front and stuff after to the new document.
Sometimes this works when normal editing doesn’t.
Our solution to anything like this has always been copy to notepad and back again. Old people knows exactly what is meant but people 25 and younger usually don't understand why or how. Seems to be a generational thing. Lately even notepad preserves utf8 so the method is starting to break together :)
In Notepad, you can save the file in a simpler character set (save as).

The Show Styles, Style Inspector and Reveal Formatting panes all help with stuff like this. The last one should give a pretty clear hint to where the line is defined.
