Word has a horizontal line I can't delete

There's a solid line across my Word document, right under the heading. Clicking on it does nothing and I can't select it to delete. I think it appeared when I typed three dashes and pressed enter. How do I get rid of it?

That's word turning three dashes into a paragraph border, not a line you can select, which is why backspace does nothing. put the cursor in the paragraph just above it, then home tab, borders dropdown, no border. to stop it happening again: file, options, proofing, autocorrect options, autoformat as you type, untick border lines.
