"{" characters appearing in footers
Hi,
I was working with a 100+ page document, and adjusting the headers/footers and associated section breaks, when Word added in a "{" character to the right of the page numbers. This appears on the odd-pages, which are at the right-side of the footer. The even pages are fine. Any idea as to how I can get rid of this? If I delete the odd page number, the character goes away. Also, if I turn on the option to view format characters, there's a faint box around the character, making it look like it's in some soft of table cell. Thanks! |

"{" characters appearing in footers
Are you in Word2007? Did you add your page numbers by clicking a
"building block"? One of them, for some reason, gives you the brace as decoration. When you show the Field (Shift-F9), do you see a bracket character (likely preceded by a backslash) inside the field brackets? If so, delete that bracket character (and its backslash).
