As long as they are formatted as hidden, they'll be displayed with the underline dots when display is enabled. To remove the underline, you'll have to remove the Hidden formatting. If you want to toggle the display of Hidden text on and off *and* not show underline dots, you'll need a macro to do something like this: - If you're going from "not displayed" to "displayed", insert a bookmark (whose name is in a set pattern, like Hidden_x where x is an incremented number) around each segment of text that has Hidden formatting and then turn off the formatting. - If you're going from "displayed" to "not displayed", find each bookmark, set its contents to Hidden, and remove the bookmark. The macro can be assigned to a new button on a toolbar or to a shortcut key. The macro and the button/shortcut should be stored in the template used to create the document. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Can i remove the blue dot line without using macro? This is for my users to
read the document I don't want to make it too complex.

Only by manually following the steps that the macro performs, which is
surely more complex for your users. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Angus wrote: Can i remove the blue dot line without using macro?
