Suddenly all my word documents saved and new have strange symbols which
although appear on the screen do not appear on document when printed. They
are like upside down music notes also arrows and star type shapes. seem to
indicate where to type and where blank lines have been left but I don't want
it there and I don't know how to get rid.

You should see the same sybol on your toolbar. Click it and the paragraph
marks will disappear.

Hope this helps

You have nonprinting marks displayed. You can hide them, for example by
pressing Ctrl+Shift+8. To learn more about them, see

Not in the tool bars I have displayed, any idea if its in a specialist one,
if so which one. I am sure i'm being dim but I can't see it.
Thanks for your help
