I assumed from Stefan's response that he HAD looked at your document. And in
fact I have just looked at it, and the only characters I see that begin to
answer your description are the end-of-cell and end-of-row markers. They
tend to look different at various Zoom ratios, but if you will view your
document at 500% Zoom, you will see that they are the character we describe.
The display of some of them is truncated because you have nested tables. I'm
guessing this must be something you pasted from the Web, as it is otherwise
unusual to see this many levels of nesting (all quite unnecessary).

Stefan,
Thank you for the response, but I do not think those are the
characteres I am referring to. In addition, Suzanne agreed with your
response and said "The character used is U00A4 (ASCII 0164.)" That is
not the character I am trying to understand. The formatting marks
like the letter "C" with little lines sticking out and a partial "C"
with the same little lines, not the ASCII 0164 character.
If you have a moment, take a look at my file. Thanks.
Therm

What do all those funny marks, like the dots between the words in my
document, and the square bullets in the left margin, mean?

I recieved a Word docuement from a co-worker. It contained some
very
strange formatting marks like the letter "C" with little lines
sticking
out and a partial "C" with the same little lines. I have no idea
what
they are. The help screens don't help. So, my first question is:
Where is the documentation for all these formatting characters?
Secondly, does anyone know what those strange charcters I described
are? I have posted the document at:
http://www.ceanational.org/problem/wordcharacters.doc
Thanks for any assistance.
