If you change the size of the font (e.g change the space to 24 points) it
will completely screw up the formatting of the document?

Hi Matthias,
In Word 2003, you can use the replace function of edit to replace all
the little space markers with gray space markers. Here's how:

Save your document first!

1) If the Formatting Marks are not showing, Click Show/Hide on the
Standard toolbar (Hint: To display a toolbar, press ALT and then
SHIFT+F10.).
2) On the standard toolbar, go to Edit, Select Replace, and click on
the "More" tab at the bottom of the "Find and Replace" window.
3) Click in the "Find what" box and type in a single space.
4) Click in the "Replace with" box and again type in a single space.
5) Click on "Options" box at the bottom of the "Find and Replace"
window and select "fonts".
6) In the "Replace Font" Window, select Font style Bold, Size 24, Font
Color Light Gray (or, if you would prefer, Red), and ensure that the
subscript and superscript boxes are cleared if checked or filled in.
(Add, modify, or omit steps here as needed to get the visibility
desired). Click OK
7) Back now in the "Find and Replace" window, select replace all.
8) Click "OK".
9) Close the "Find and Replace" window.


This could be made into a macro and added to the toolbar for use in
other documents.

You can use CTRL-C (copy) and CTRL-V (paste) to enter any other
non-printing formatting marks into the replace routine given above,
and they too could be made into macros (Macro to replace a Space Black
Dot with a Gray Dot, Macro to replace Pilcrow Sign with Green Pilcrow
Sign, etc.)

Hope this helps,
Art

Hi, I would like to change the color of the formatting marks. For
example, if the text I'me writting is black, I would Word to display
the formatting marks in a light grey. How can I proceed? Is it
possible? Thanks
