formatting symbols, etc. appear
I've used MS Word 97 for some time now. Just recently when I open any saved
Word document, paragraph symbols, dots between words and page breaks are visible where before they were not there. When I click on the "Print Preview" the document appears without the symbols which is the way I would like the document to appear when I am creating it. Any help would be greatly greately appreciated. MS will not help and I am on a fixed income and cannot afford to purchase upgrades as they suggest. Thanks much . . . |

Soloman10,
On the standard toolbar there should be an icon with a black paragraph sign on it (show & hide button), click on it and you will toggle between showing formatting marks and hiding them.

Press the ¶ button on the toolbar to turn it off. The keyboard shortcut for it is Ctrl+Shift+8. Both of these are "toggles" -- each time you press it, it turns the symbols on or off. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...PrintChars.htm for more information, including why you might occasionally want to see those symbols. You don't need an upgrade for this. :-) -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

when working with word you can select to view symbols or not. So go to
tools, options and you will see the print tab, this is where you will decide what and how you want to print your documents. "Soloman10" wrote: I've used MS Word 97 for some time now.

The View tab controls the display. The Print tab controls what prints; while
you can choose to print or not print Hidden text and field codes, there is no way to print nonprinting characters (such as paragraph marks), which is what the OP was asking about. -- Suzanne S.
