does the line run all the way to the end of the worksheet or does it stop?
Anyway, try the Drawings toolbar, pick the arrow pointer and see if you can
select it with that + delete.

thanks, no luck with the drawing toolbar, its about 5cm and is not
bound by columns, eg if I move column width there is no growth in the
length of the line...
that said, the start of the line seems bound to a column...
