If it's on your screen, try a gentle cleaner and a soft cloth.

word 2007, there's a back slash on screen
The article is still applicable (just not updated for Word 2007 yet), but
the template you need to deal with is named Normal.dotm, and you can find it in the folder listed for User Templates at Office Button | Word Options | Trust Center | Trust Center Settings... | Trusted Locations. But I'm wondering if what you're seeing might not be just the paragraph mark at the end of the default empty paragraph. Try clicking the button in the Paragraph group of the Home tab that has the ¶ symbol on it. -- Suzanne S.

word 2007, there's a back slash on screen
And if it is not a paragraph mark and you are still getting that back slash
while opening new word documents, follow these steps and it should work: - StartRunType winword /safe (this will open word in safe mode without loading your Normal.dotm template) - Click on Office button at upper leftclick on "Open" - In Open box where you see "File Name" box type %appdata% hit Enter key - you will see list of folders from where you will have to go to Microsoft folderTemplates folder - There you will find "Normal.dotm", open it (If you are getting any "~$Normal.dotm", ignore it - After opening Normal.dotm, remove that BACK SLASH - Hold down SHIFT key and click on office button and then click on "Save All" - Close word completely and reopen it - Back slash should not be there Please reply..! -- Regards, Anup "spinndiva" wrote: thank you for the response. it seem that i can't resolve the issue. i have word 2007 and some of the resolutions say, "if you have 2000 and/or earlier or 2002. can you help. thank you much.

word 2007, there's a back slash on screen
hello a. tawde,
thank you for your help. i've did all the steps. but when i opened the template folder, in it was "normal" and "normal email". i didn't see "normal.dotm". i opened "normal" and there was no backslash on the document and the same with "normal email". i closed out both, opened a new document (on desktop) and the back slash was still there. do you have any suggestions.

Open Windows Explorer and go to Tools, Options and clear the check box
against the 'Hide file extensions for Known file types'.
