Document contains a symbol that looks like the degree symbol between
spaces instead of the usual dot. How do I get rid of it?
That's a nonbreaking space (see
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...rintChars.htm). Its shortcut is
Ctrl+Shift+spacebar.
You can use Edit Replace to remove them. Put the cursor in the Find box
and press Ctrl+Shift+spacebar. Put the cursor in the Replace box and press
just the spacebar. Click the Replace All button.
You may not want to remove all of them, as they do have a use -- they let
you have a phrase that looks like two or more words but won't break across a
line ending. They're also useful in text that will be sorted, such as family
names with multiple parts (e.g., Ludwig von Beethoven).
