If you hit "ctrl" "shift" "*" it will shut off the marks. However, I've not been able to figure out how to keep the marks from appearing in the first place? I'm hoping someone knows the solution? (They just started appearing so I'm wondering if it's caused by a virus?) |

They will appear if you open a document that has been saved with them
displayed, or if you create a document from a template saved with them displayed. Word 2003 has a habit of losing settings stored in the data key in the registry (i.e. Tools Options). You can overcome this by forcing errant settings with autorunning macros. In this instance the command line would be ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org drallf wrote: "lawtech" wrote: The formatting marks will not shut off and It is driving me insane.

I don't believe that's the case, Graham. What I do see is that a document
seems to inherit the display setting of the window it is opened in. For example, I may have NPC displayed in one document and hide them in another. If I close the second document and open or create a new one, it will (or at least may, depending on how I open it) have NPC hidden even though they are still displayed in the first document. -- Suzanne S.

You may well be right, but the macro should force what happens for each
opened document. The action of the ¶ button is determined by the settings checked in Tools Options View Formatting Marks. If (say) paragraph mark is checked here, the paragraph marks will be displayed regardless of the setting of the ¶ toggle. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.
