Default How to remove unwanted dots between words in HTML copies?

When copying HTML pages into Words 2003, the program has started inserting
dots between words. Why? And how to prevent it?

Do you _not_ see the dots in other Word files??

If you don't, then the problem isn't that you've turned on Show Non-
Printing Characters (Ctrl-Shift-8).

It sounds like the formatting marks for spaces is turned on continuously. In Word 2007, 2010, 2013, do the following: Click the "Office Button" in the top-left corner. (This looks like a circle around a four-color Microsoft logo.)

This opens a window with a "Word Options" button on the lower-right side. Press it.

Click the "Display" option in the left-hand column.

Uncheck the checkbox for "Spaces" in the "Always Show these formatting marks on the screen" section.

You are done!
