I have used Word for years! A lady of our acquaintance wanted to use it to
do a little work. Somehow, a sentence of hers got an unwanted faint dotted
line under it and when we printed her document the underlined sentence
failed to print. I erased the affected sentence plus some other characters
in the beginning and end. I then retyped the affected sentence and this
time it printed the way it was shown on the screen. What happened and how
do I prevet it from happening again?

The dotted underline indicates that the text in question is formatted as
Hidden. Selecting it and pressing Ctrl+Spacebar will remove that formatting
(and any other direct formatting) or she could toggle it off with
Ctrl+Shift+H (the same way it was probably inadvertently applied) or using
the Format Font dialog.

Thank you! I am using the Microsoft "Ergonomic" keyboard and she kept
hitting the Ctrl key in combination with others which produced all kinds of
snafus!
