Is there any way to print the hidden marks (like tabs, spaces, etc.) in a
WORD document?

Not easily. You'll have to replace each real character with the
character that represents it, and handle line breaks manually.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...PrintChars.htm for
more info.

Not that I'm aware of in many years of using Word.
Maybe someone more knowledgeable will come along.

About the best option I've found is to temporarily turn off the rulers,
toolbars, scroll bars, etc., zoom to fill the available space as well as
possible, then take a screen shot. Paste that into a Word doc & print from
there.

Yuck! That would be one ugly document. I like to see them on my screen but I
can't imagine seeing them in print.

It would be a good educational tool when teaching persons how the different
characters work, like tabs, spaces, enters, etc... People often have trouble
getting their documents formatted nicely because they insist on using the
spacebar rather than tabs to line things up.

That's an excellent point. A great tool for newsletter editors.
