Formatting marks do not print. But you can take a screenshot of a document
with formatting marks displayed, paste the the screenshot into a Word document, and print that. "phalanx27" wrote: the show/hide button shows the paragraph and formatting marks in a document. How do I print a document with these symbols showing? |

The proper name for those symbols is "nonprinting characters" (http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...PrintChars.htm), precisely because they don't print. If you need to put a sample on paper, you'll have to go through the exercise of replacing the nonprinting characters with the printing characters that have the same appearance (as far as the computer is concerned, they're different characters, represented by different code numbers). For example, replace·space·characters·with·a·middle·dot (ASCII code 183). You can't really replace paragraph marks -- that would eliminate the ends of the paragraphs -- but you can insert a ¶ character (ASCII code 182) before each paragraph mark. And so on... -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
