In Word 2003 for Windows, that would probably be an unintended addition to the global template (normal.dot). Here’s how I’d get rid of it:

1.Close all open copies of Word.
2.Open Word.
3.Click on the File->Save As menu item.
4.In the “File of Type” list box, scroll down to Document Templates and select it. The directory should change and there should be a Normal.dot file in it. DON’T SAVE THE FILE. Click Cancel instead.
5.Press CTRL/O to bring up the File Open dialog.
6.Select Normal.dot. Normal.dot should become your open document.
7.Now delete the section break by putting the cursor on it and pressing the Delete key.
8.Save the file. You may get a warning message about the Global template having been changed. This is OK. Click Yes.
9.Close Word.

Hope that helps.
