Thank you Andrew,

Knowing it is caused by something in the Data key helps. Even if I can't see
it I know where to start pointing other people who experience the problem
(and myabe I can get someone to send me a broken Data key).

Enjoy,

I have solved the problem by the renaming the folder in the registry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\W ord\Data

When I restarted Word, the problem was not there.

send you a document with this text.

It appears every time a picture, text box, drawing object is used.

It does not behave the same when Word is opened in safe mode - the sp
tag
is not present.

Do you have a document with one of these characters which shows up on
multiple machines? If so, I would love to see it. Could you send me a
copy?

applied
to them.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Maybe a list format has been applied to the style in question.

Hello there, I am not sure if this is the right newgroup to be
posting
this
in but if not I would appreciate it if someone could advise which
group
I
should be using.

Here is the problem, I have a user who whenever they open a
document or
create a new one that has a text box in it the txt SP seems to
appear
along side it.

This cannot be removed without the text box being removed. Does
anybody
have any idea why this would be happening and how to prevent it?

Many Thanks
