Funny Mark in document
I'm using Word 2000 but for the past week when ever I start typing a funny
mark is shown at the end of each line. It looks like a backwards IP with the P coloured in. It doesnt show up on print preview or on printed documents. Could you please advise me in whether there is anything I can do to get rid of this annoying mark. Thanks in advance |

This is a formatting mark. I have 2003 but all you need to do is click on
the same "backward IP" on your toolbar -or- Tools|Options|View, deselect formatting marks.

If you see it at the end of every line, it means you are treating your
word processor like a typewriter and pressing "Enter" at the end of a line instead of letting the computer do its job. Or maybe you've imported text from a website. If you don't also see, for instance, a dot between every word, then it's not the Non-Printing Characters button (or Ctrl-Shift-8), but instead you have Paragraph Marks checked in your View Options.
