I've used MS Word 97 for some time now. Just recently when I open any saved
Word document, paragraph symbols, dots between words and page breaks are
visible where before they were not there. When I click on the "Print Preview"
the document appears without the symbols which is the way I would like the
document to appear when I am creating it.

Any help would be greatly greately appreciated. MS will not help and I am on
a fixed income and cannot afford to purchase upgrades as they suggest.
Thanks much . . .
