Hello,

I am having troubles ridding my research paper of this thorn in my side:

It is a rather random line of dots. I have tried everything in my power to remove it, but to no avail. I am, for some odd reason, unable to highlight it. Furthermore, temporarily deleting the surrounding paragraphs has no effect on the dotted line.

Any suggestions?
