Also try clicking around the perimeter of the area you want to delete, it could be a table, and if you can get the little table icon to show up for it then you can right click on it and do Delete table.<br />

Sometimes clicking just after what you want to delete, and then backspacing will work (sometimes it won't).

Was this content pasted from a web page perhaps, a lot of times that brings in a bit of funny stuff with it, and can be hard to "clean up"?

Also try clicking around the perimeter of the area you want to delete, it could be a table, and if you can get the little table icon to show up for it then you can right click on it and do Delete table.

Hard to troubleshoot without the real file, but I understand it contains sensitive info.

Sometimes changing the View gives you different options on the content and can allow deletion.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm trying to figure out how to delete from my Word document, the row that I've highlighted in red in the example below. The content has been redacted, but the formatting symbols have been retained. Typically these formatting symbols relate to tables, but I'm not sure what they mean in this context. Regardless, I'd like to delete that line. So far, nothing that I've tried has worked.<br />

Unable to delete line in Word document that is surrounded by unrecognized format symbols

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.

Microsoft Office

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
