times over then back space, save, closed out, opened new document, and boom,
document is clear as a whistle. no more back slash !!! Thanks so much.

And if it is not a paragraph mark and you are still getting that back slash
while opening new word documents, follow these steps and it should work:

- StartRunType winword /safe (this will open word in safe mode
without loading your Normal.dotm template)
- Click on Office button at upper leftclick on "Open"
- In Open box where you see "File Name" box type %appdata% hit Enter
key
- you will see list of folders from where you will have to go to Microsoft
folderTemplates folder
- There you will find "Normal.dotm", open it (If you are getting any
"~$Normal.dotm", ignore it
- After opening Normal.dotm, remove that BACK SLASH
- Hold down SHIFT key and click on office button and then click on "Save All"
- Close word completely and reopen it
- Back slash should not be there

Please reply..!

If it's on your screen, try a gentle cleaner and a soft cloth.

If it's in your blank Word document,
