strange symbols
Suddenly all my word documents saved and new have strange symbols which
although appear on the screen do not appear on document when printed. They are like upside down music notes also arrows and star type shapes. seem to indicate where to type and where blank lines have been left but I don't want it there and I don't know how to get rid. |

You should see the same sybol on your toolbar. Click it and the paragraph
marks will disappear.

You have nonprinting marks displayed. You can hide them, for example by
pressing Ctrl+Shift+8. To learn more about them, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "sue@sandys" wrote in message ...

Not in the tool bars I have displayed, any idea if its in a specialist one,
if so which one. I am sure i'm being dim but I can't see it. Thanks for your help "Brian" wrote: You should see the same sybol on your toolbar. Click it and the paragraph marks will disappear.
