How do i get rid of this weird symbol at the end of each line
It looks like a weird backwards "P" and it only shows up when i hit enter and
instead of there being a space when i hit the space bar it puts a dot. |

I'm fascinated by the number of people who don't associate the ¶ symbol on the document (which is a paragraph mark) with the ¶ button on the toolbar. Click that button, which turns the marks on and off. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...PrintChars.htm to find out what all the marks are for. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

But then don't come back complaining that Word keeps printing an extra
page at the end of your document -- by far the most common reason for that is that a bunch of empty paragraphs have collected at the end of the document, spilling over onto a new page. It makes sense always to have Paragraph Marks and Tabs showing (you turn each category on/off in Options, which is in different places in different versions).

It would be nice if there was an option to change their colour so they could be change to something less obtrusive - say to a pale pink or blue (as in WordPro) - but there isn't. -- Rob |

If they're always on, situations where it would be "required" to do so wouldn't arise. It's often _very_ important to know whether your indent is a true paragraph indent or a tab. A 50% color would indeed be an improvement. |

In Mac versions they are in fact grey. I agree this would probably be an
improvement (but perhaps even more confusing to users?). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "grammatim" wrote in message ...
