Some of my Word documents have funny characters in them that were not there
before. However, if I send the document through email to someone else the character are not there. What could be causing this. |

Funny characters in my word document
You're probably displaying nonprinting characters
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...rintChars.htm). Press the ¶ button on the toolbar, or press Ctrl+Shift+8. -- 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.

What kind of funny characters? Are they cartoon paperclips that wink at you
or Einstein? This is the office assistant. You can turn it off click Help Hide the office assistant.

Funny characters in my word document
I had a similar thing happen to me yesterday - someone brought me a copy of a
template they printed - a "square" appeared in the middle of the document the first time she printed it - the second time she printed the document - it appeared in a different place - the third time she printed it - it was gone. Also, on a completely different document the "square" showed up again but had the words "formtext" after it. When I unprotected and looked at the document there was nothing out of the ordinary. You can't see these weird things when you view the document online, they only show up - and not every time - when you print. This leads me to believe that it is a print driver issue. I'm having her print to a different printer for a while to rule this out. Jeanne "Braveheart" wrote: What kind of funny characters? Are they cartoon paperclips that wink at you or Einstein?
