Just fyi, Mark and list, I have encountered the same error and have been
delinquent not to report it and provide a sample document. Keep telling
myself "next time I will". I think the next "next time" it is a promise I
must keep.

Why?

Because none of the techniques for removing the presumed paragraph border
may have worked. Even going so far as "Select All" then "Clear Direct
Formatting" has only partially worked.

What is "partially worked"? The line is removed. However when additional
paragraphs are entered in the document the line reappears in its original
location.

I might have posted a remark on this about the time of one of the recent
recurring conversations about reveal codes.

The only successful workarounds I've found for this are recreate from a
blank sheet a new version of the document and copy / paste as text the
contents of the old document. Or open AOO writer and paste the contents
there. For whatever reason the persistent formatting problem doesn't paste
into the AOO document.

Note: The steps Select All, Copy, Delete, Paste As Text in the LO source
document does not eliminate the persistent formatting problem. Only Paste
As Text into a new document will.

Just wanted to let all know that if the op has tried the suggested fixes
and found none to work folks shouldn't presume that the directions were not
correctly followed.
