I am teaching a basic computer class at our library. One of the participants
does not like the little paragraph alignment symbol the shows up next to the cursor "I" symbol in Word. Is there a way to get rid of that little symbol? -- bblibrary |

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm. You're
*teaching* this class? -- Suzanne S.

That's the signal that you have the Click and Type feature turned on. Go to
Tools Options Edit and uncheck the box for "Enable click and type" to remove it. -- 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. bblibrary wrote: I am teaching a basic computer class at our library.

Thanks for the reply. I do know about the formatting symbols as noted in
your article. My question was answered by another disscussion participant as follows: That's the signal that you have the Click and Type feature turned on. Go to Tools Options Edit and uncheck the box for "Enable click and type" to remove it. Yes, I am "teaching" classes to folks 55 years and older about the basics of using a computer. -- bblibrary "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm.

Thanks so much for your answer. I knew it would be in the tools/options
window but was just not sure of which item to check or uncheck. The participant in our class will be most pleased. -- bblibrary "Jay Freedman" wrote: That's the signal that you have the Click and Type feature turned on.

I misread "paragraph alignment symbol" as "paragraph symbol." Yes, Click and
Type is a bit more obscure. -- Suzanne S.
