I want to remove the dashes between words as I type
In my word program I changed the normal format somehow by accident and now
everything I do in word shows paragraph markers (looks like a backwards P) at the beginning and ending of sentences, and there is a dsah between every word. Since I don't know how I made it happen, I don't know how to turn it off. Please help! It drives me nuts to see all this while I type and I can't make a new document without these things showing either. Thanks |

are, how to turn them on, and.... how to turn them off. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!
