The best way I can explain it is they look like small degree marks, as in 'it's 45(degrees) outside today'. If a few places there are double marks. Explanation please, |

Those are spaces, usually non-breaking. I've seen them when I copy an email

Sounds like non breaking spaces. What it does is guarantee that the words
to the left & right of that symbol will stay together on the same line. You enter them by Hitting shift ctrl space, I believe. They can be deleted if you desire, just like a regular character and replaced with a space, or formatting symbols can be turned off if the sight of them bothers you. "L.S." wrote in message ...
