[LMB] AKICOTL: OT: Word help, pretty please???

[Meg Justus]

Okay.  I should know how to do this.  I made the mistake of typing three ###s as a divider between sections in a document, and when I did, Word created this big thick line instead of just leaving my three ###s like I wanted.  How do I get rid of this big thick line and what can I use in the way of a symbol in this manner that will stay the way I typed it without my having to backspace immediately? (I use an Alphasmart which is basically a portable keyboard emulator -- stopping in the middle of an upload to backspace is not an option)  Asterisks are booby-trapped the same way, only with a different kind of line.  I'm way past the point where I can backspace right after they've been typed.  No form of deleting and/or cutting is making it go away.

Help?  Word help, is, of course, no help at all.
