All of my word documents are opening with a paragraph symbol on every line.
I Would like to know how to get rid of them.
Thanks for helping.

Or, if you mean you want to convert text pasted from a website into
proper paragraphs, then Find each Paragraph character (^p) and Replace
with a space (type a space) or (if there's already a space before each
paragraph mark) with nothing.

Christy, in addition to what Jay and Grammatim have posted, you can use
either Ctrl+Shft+8 or the ¶ icon (on the Home ribbon or the Standard toolbar)
to toggle the view of these.
See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...PrintChars.htm for further
information as to how these characters (and others) can be very useful.
Hope this helps

Thanks. That's the article I meant to cite, but I picked the wrong one out
of my list.

No problem. Though, I must admit that I thought there was a new article which
I had not seen before with some sparkly-new helpful information - but no ;-(
Take care.

Sparkly new articles are taking a back seat to trying to get the existing
ones updated for Word 2007, I'm afraid. Worse still, our Webmaster is unable
to process updates at the moment because an explosion forced him out of his
apartment just as he was about to move out anyway, and it will be weeks
before he is allowed back in to retrieve his furniture (and computer).
