Hi Lissi,
The two lines through the text are a double strikethrough. They are a font
attribute, just like bold and italic. You can highlight the words that have it
and turn it off by using the font attributes menu. In Word 2010 you can bring
up the box that contains all of those by pressing alt o font (that's a lower
case o). There will be a radio button for the option double strike through that
you will want to uncheck. If it isn't checked, select it then immediately
unselect it, as that just means you picked up a character that didn't have the
double strike through along with the characters that did.

Dear Booksharian Friends,
I’ve forgotten how to format a book when it is two novels in one
paperback. The second novel starts on the back cover turned upside down
with the numbers of the text beginning from the back toward the middle
of the books beginning one at the back and going up.
About Word, when I was double checking my pagination before checking in
a book, numbers I had to replace because they were coming out bolded, I
turned up the magnification way high and saw that in most cases the
numbers had one or maybe two horizontal lines through them. I tried
highlighting them and turning underline off, but that wasn’t the
problem. These thin lines go right through the numbers and JAWS read
them as if they were normal so I didn’t have a clue there was a problem
until that page check where the numbers were giant sized. I’m just
wondering what that is as until Word 2010 I never knew it existed.
Thanks in advance for any of your ideas.
Otherwise I remain motivated and entranced to proofread.
Always with love,
Lissi
