check print preview to see if they show there. You should be able to select them and hit delete.

Try putting the cursor behind the first letter after the line and backspacing...it should get rid of them because there's no where else for the words to go =/

If you copy it piece by piece, like highlight a part, press ctrl+c, then go to a new document, press ctrl+v, then skip the line, and continue, then it should work...

or you could copy everything to notepad and then copy back to a new word doc

If the line is not in the header/footer section then I think you can select the whole document and use a normal formatting.

Copy it into notepad then copy it back like sinbad said
