Automatic Border Lines in Mircrosoft Word

If you type in a series of tildes or "squiggles" (~~~~~) when using Microsoft World, it may automatically convert these to a zig-zag "border line" (see image to the right). You can use the auto-correct "lightning bolt" to undo the auto-conversion, or to stop all automatic conversion of this type. (Put your pointer near the beginning of the line above if you don't see the lightning bolt.)

If you still don't see the auto-correct "lightning bolt," watch the short video below to see how to manually undo the border line. Start by placing your cursor in line of text above the border line.
