Control+8 or click the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar (or Home tab of the
Ribbon if using 2007).

That would be CTRL+* (CTRL+SHIFT+8)

True, but I don't think the ShowAll button (the Pilcrow or shortcut) is the
problem here. The user says he has managed to rid the paragraph symbols but
now still sees the spaces (dots) between characters. Logically, it cannot be
the ShowAll button so must be the individual 'Spaces' setting under Word
Options | Display tab.

Yeah, I've finally gotten to the point where my fingers work faster than my
mind does... the Shift key isn't a part of the Mac keystroke & I hit Send
before I realized the omission %-} Thanks for the catch!
