Formatting mark
Is there a list somewhere that shows all Formatting Marks and their functions
in Word 2007? I'm muddling through doing a table and I have a mark that looks like a cross between a "C" and an "E" that's causing problems. It starts out where it is suppossed to - at the top and in the center of each cell. In some of my table cells I don't see it after adding the cell's contents (a picture with a caption). Sometime the little stinker moves from the top center of the cell to the bottom center. When it moves to the bottom, it throws off the size of the cells by the heighth of the symbol. How can I move or delete it? I've got 2 cells together that are doing it and the only fix I've found so far is to ungroup the picutre from the caption and I'd prefer to leave them grouped. I've noticed that when the contents of the "problem" cells are grouped, I get an anchor symbol at the bottom of the grouped objects. The cells I don't have problems with have the anchor at the top of the picture/caption group. How do I fix or move the funky C/E or the anchor? KJ |

Formatting mark
Is this not the end-of-cell marker (U00A4)? If you zoom in, does it look
like that? See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm for an explanation of most formatting marks (there may be new ones in Word 2007, but I doubt it). -- Suzanne S.

No, it's not the "end of cell marker". I do have "end of cell" marks and
they're right where I want them. The mark in question wasn't listed on the link you showed. Another way to picture it, is instead of a combination of a capital "C and a capital "E", is as a capital "C" with an equals sign, "=" , through the middle of it. The equals sign goes through the spine of the the C's curve. These are some sort of alignment mark because when I try different alignments inside the cells in questions, (top, middle, left side, etc) the symbol moves to that location. I can't find any info on them, though. Besides the "Help" pages, I went into "Word Options", then "Display" and looked at the "Always show these formatting marks" section. Other formatting marks are shown, but not that one. (I keep the box checked so all formatting marks are shown.) Any ideas? KJ "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Is this not the end-of-cell marker (U00A4)?

Formatting mark
Sounds a bit like a euro symbol (U20AC), but I can't think why it would be
there. Do you by any chance have "click and type" enabled? That often confuses people, but it manifests itself in mouse pointers, not cell alignment. If you want to send me a sample doc, I'll have a look, but if this is happening in all documents, it's likely something on your system that wouldn't show up on mine. -- Suzanne S.

Hi, Suzanne
I'd love to send you a sample doc. How can I get it to you? I just noticed a few minutes ago that when the pictures are grouped with the caption, it becomed an "Object" versus leaving them ungrouped and having a picture and a text box. (I've never paid attention to that before, but I'm assuming it's a normal change.) When they are left ungrouped, the alignment is fine and the symbol is out of the way. KJ "Suzanne S.
