Random curved line mysteriously appeared in the document that does not respond to "cut"

Greetings,
I appreciate your hard work.
  Recently, I created a flyer in Word Processing that after opening my file again later  a... Random curved line mysteriously appeared in the document that does not respond to "cut".
I also had some "fontwork' that did not respond to "cut".
1) why did this line appear?
2) How do you "cut or delete" curved lines or fontwork?

Thank you for your work.  Be encouraged.
