Dots in spaces between words, figure at end of each sentence?
A friend who is new to Word was, as she says below, typing away in a
Word document and experienced the following (see her message to me below): "I was typing away and hit something that inserted period like dots into the spaces between words and then puts a figure at the end of each sentence and the beginning of each line. I have to click it off but I don't know what it is...any thoughts?" I don't know enough about Word myself, but maybe someone else here knows what she "hit" to cause the problem. Thanks. John |

The ¶ button on the toolbar turns those marks, and other nonprinting
characters, on and off.

She toggled show non-printing characters ON. Just look on the toolbar for
the Backwards P and toggle it off. "Dejola" wrote in message oups.com...
