I have to agree that it is difficult or impossible to tell how only "Spaces"
got checked. I believe we all assumed that you inadvertently switched on the
display of *all* nonprinting marks (for example by pressing Ctrl+Shift+8).

Most of us leave the ShowAll option enabled all the time because it is
the only way to know what formatting you are using. Otherwise you have
no idea where there are spaces, tabs, line breaks, paragraph breaks, page
breaks, section ends, etc. It is sort of like working blindfolded.

I do not understand. It was the 'Spaces' box that was checked within the
Word options Display ShowAll category. I simply unchecked it and that
did the trick. Which part of the ShowAll category option do you leave
enabled? I have them all unchecked now within the category that includes
'Spaces' as shown above. Everything seems to be working okay now.

Thanks
