Learn to Live with the Wavy Under-line
The Problem:
In Word 97, in Outline mode (View 
Outline), every collapsed heading has a wavy underline that starts about 0.5 inches to the left of the first word and extends approximately 1.5 inches (for short headings) to 4 inches (for longer ones) to the right. How can I get rid of the underlining? It's ugly and appears to serve no purpose.
The Solution:
Sorryno fix on this one. There is a purpose, though: the underlining is to indicate that there are paragraphs collapsed under the heading. Treat it as a visual aid to help you avoid deleting precious pages when you intend to delete only a heading.
