Thanks for your comments however, the method you describe seems to be for borders.
It isn't a border that appears within the document it's a weird file corruption that contaminates the text even when parts of it or all of it are cut and pasted into a new document.

The method I suggest is actually quite simple and extremely effective.;O)

The method you describe is quite unnecessary. Just selecting the paragraph
below which the border appears and pressing Ctrl+Q will remove the border
from that paragraph. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CantGetRidOfLine.htm. And you can still
use asterisks as scene separators if you disable automatic borders.

The description of your fix certainly supports Suzanne's conclusion that
this is a paragraph border being added. Have you actually tried the
suggestions in the article that she linked to?

What the OP described was a border that is created automatically when three
or more asterisks are typed and Enter pressed. The border that is generated
is a line of square dots that is applied to the paragraph above. From your
original description ("I've tried to include a section break with an asterix
between paragraphs to denote change of scene in my story and once the dotted
line menance appears there seems no way to remove it."), I would be willing
to bet that your problem is the same. Did you in fact read the article at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CantGetRidOfLine.htm?
