Unwanted dot BELOW a letter
I have a dot appearing below a letter. It also prints there. If I delete or
cut the letter the dot jumps to the previous letter. Deleting the paragraph deletes the dot. (This is not the dots that represent spaces.) How can I get rid of it? Thanks. |

Did you find any resolution to this? We had this happen to someone in our
office yesterday as well however I haven't found any answers for it yet. "Bristol" wrote: I have a dot appearing below a letter. It also prints there.

No, no one at all has replied. I just deleted the paragraph and retyped (a
minor pain). Hey, experts, does no-one know what causes this and how to fix it? "Bristol" wrote: I have a dot appearing below a letter. It also prints there.

Nope, no clue -- it isn't anything I've ever seen or heard of.
If you still had the original document with the dot in place, I'd offer to take a look at it. It could be a stray bit of a drawing object, but there's nothing in plain-vanilla Word that behaves that way. -- 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.

Thanks Jay, but it has not recurred recently, though it is interesting that I
am not the only person who met this. If it recurs I'll send it to you. "Jay Freedman" wrote: Nope, no clue -- it isn't anything I've ever seen or heard of.

Hi Bristol

Failing that, I'd investigate all display options/unprintable characters, and might land at some obscure far eastern feature. Almost impossible w/o seeing the document, of course. :-) 0.02¢ Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

Possibly some kind of dotted underline, either applied with Format | Font or
one of the many indicating Hidden text or the presence of Smart Tags or whatever. -- Suzanne S.
