Default Can not turn of fat lines.

I have a problem.
i white a lot of stories in word, and i have made the mistake of creating
lines in the texst to seperate one part of the story from another.
But once ive saved the file and opend it again, i seems i can not remove a
line, if i regret it. And furthermore, if i write more to a chapter, the
lines seem to move and multyply. Suddenly, i have two lines on each side of
the new text, or likes get copyed if i try to move the whole passage.
Somebody help me, please!!!
This is driving me nuts.
What am i doing wrong?
I've been trying everything i can think of, and it wont seem to work.
Thank you...

G'Day Lilly,

What you describe sounds like paragraph borders.

Word creates these "lines" when you type

---Enter OR
___Enter OR
===Enter etc...

Place the insertion point anywhere in a troublesome paragraph.

Then:
FormatBorders and shading
Click on the "None" box at top left
Click "Ok"
