dots appearing between all words in Word 2003
You have turned on Word's hidden formatting characters. Press the ¶ button
or CTRL+SHIFT+8 to toggle the display. If that doesn't work, it is possible that Word has corrupted its data key where the formatting setting preferences are stored. Check Tools Options View Formatting marks and ensure that all the boxes are unchecked. If the setting changes back then delete the Word data key in the registry and allow Word to build a new one. Even this may not totally fix the issue as Word 2003 particularly had a bad habit of randomly changing settings stored in the data key. If the problem persists - see the automacros at the end of http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm and insert the following code segment as a permanent fix With ActiveWindow.View .ShowTabs = False .ShowSpaces = False .ShowParagraphs = False .ShowHyphens = False .ShowHiddenText = False .ShowAll = False End With -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Yvonne J" wrote in message ...
