What are those dots underneath my text?
Sometimes when I open a new word document, there are little dots underneath
my text. They won't allow me to print preview (it still looks like a blank document), or print at all. When I click on the paragraph markers on the toolbars, the dotted text goes away along with the paragraph markers. How can I get rid of this? |

Answer: What are those dots underneath my text?
Those dots underneath your text are most likely the result of Word's spelling and grammar checker. They indicate that Word has detected a potential error in your text, such as a misspelled word or a grammatical mistake.
To get rid of the dots, you can either correct the error or disable the spelling and grammar checker. Here's how to do both:
Disabling the spelling and grammar checker will prevent the dots from appearing in your document, but it may also result in more errors going unnoticed. If you prefer to keep the checker enabled, make sure to correct any errors it detects to avoid the dots appearing in your document.

The dots indicate the text is formatted as Hidden. To remove the
hidden formatting, press Ctrl+A to select all, and then click on Format | Font | Font tab | uncheck the "Hidden" box | OK.
