words there are dots. They don't print but only appear in the workspace. Other symbols go along with this but the dots are the most annoying. |

I think there's a keystroke combination that automatically turns these on or toggles them. I can never remember what it is but I know I do hit it by mistake from time to time so I've memorized the above sequence. -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |

AHHHH!!!!!!!
How does someone press "Ctrl-Shift-8" by mistake?
I bet all these folk who don't know what the Non-printing Characters button is for have also never tried the one next to it, the extraordinarily useful "Document Map" button.

Or whatever character is inserted, depending on the chosen keyboard layout,
when you press Shift+8 (for me, who uses a Swedish keyboard, that would be "("). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

In Outlook 2007, open a new message and go to the "Format Text" tab. Make
sure the pilcrow (the inverted P in the paragraph group) is not selected. Yves "RobW" wrote in message ... I'm having this problem but with Outlook email. Do you know how to fix this?

the Word-like e-mail editor) and thus the answer is the same as posted earlier. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org RobW wrote: I'm having this problem but with Outlook email.
