Get rid of formatting symbols - How?
Hi - I don't know what I inadvertently clicked, but every Word 2007 document
I open has formatting symbols prominently displayed. Here's a screenshot of the paragraph symbol next to the cursor on a blank document. http://home.roadrunner.com/~jbmsbink...Screenshot.jpg When I open Word files that I previously created, they are plastered with all kinds of similar symbols. Question: I do I turn this feature off so that I don't see these symbols on all of my Word documents? Thanks Joe |

Click on the Show/Hide button (¶) in the Home tab of the Ribbon. It has an
orange background in your screen shot which shows that it is active. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Thanks Doug - I've been using Word since Word '97 and I've never had a use
for that particular function. Now I know what I inadvertantly clicked. BTW - I still love the Word 2007 ribbon. Joe "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...
