Glitch
Attached is a copy of what I am experiencing: The black lines have shown
up in one of my files, and I cannot delete it. What's the source of
those line? How can I delete them? (They have not appeared in other
files, before or after.)

Have a look at this thread in the Forum. When you type three dashes or three equals, OpenOffice will turn these into horizontal lines; the thread tells why and how to stop it.

You probably already tried this, but nobody mentioned it, so ...
A black line between paragraphs could belong to either the above or
below paragraph (bottom or top border). You should check both, following
Dan's directions.

Then what happens if you want to move the cursor to the line below the
current line?

Maybe you can do it in a macro, so the rest of us are not saddled with
this peculiarity.

I'm realizing I can just hit the End button.
Still, it would be nice to make the down key an automatic keyboard shortcut to the end of the line in the document, like with Appleworks. But I can't find out how so I think I'm just going to use the End key.
Thanks.

Could you create a document that has this problem but does not
contain any sensitive information? Send it to my mailing address. I
would like to look at it to see what may be wrong.

This did not work. Nothing touches those ugly black lines on that
particular file. ALL OTHER files I work on in OO are OK.

Try this. Open the document. Click the Non-printing tool.
(Control+F10 is the shortcut key combination.) The paragraph symbols
appear at the end of each paragraph. Click a paragraph that contains the
bold line. Open the Styles and Formatting window (use F11 to do this).
In the Paragraph styles list, one of them should be highlighted. Right
click it, and select Modify from the pop up window. Click the Border
tab. In the middle section (Line) change the Style dropdown list to
none. Click OK.

Click in a Paragraph followed by a line and choose /Format /Parapraph. Press the Borders tab and see if a bottom border is set; if so, unset it. If other lines persist elsewhere and the above method has removed one line, you may need to remove either direct formatting of borders (if any) in affected paragraphs, or modify affected paragraph styles to remove such border definitions.

Nothing works. Cannot delete those mysterious bold lines. All other work
I am doing does not show the lines.

Hi,
if the lines disappear if you press "Ctrl+Shift+R" at once then it could
be a problem with your graphics driver. The key combination of Shift key
and Control key together with the R key does a screen refresh within
AOO. Otherwise you may have included a horizontal line within a Writer
document via menu item /Insert/Horizontal Line/ or something magical
else happens...
