If you also see paragraph marks (¶), click the button with that symbol on it or press Ctrl+Shift+8 to turn off all nonprinting characters. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...PrintChars.htm. If it's only the dots in the spaces, go to the Options dialog and uncheck the box for displaying spaces. In Word 2003 or earlier that box is on the View tab of the dialog; in Word 2007 it's on the Display tab. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

"Dot" problem
These are Non-printing characters, use Ctrl+Shft+8 or the ¶ icon (on the Home
ribbon or the Standard toolbar) to toggle the view of these. Also see the following article which explains these and how useful they are. http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...PrintChars.htm Hope this helps DeanH "MO" wrote: When if hit the space bar in a document, I get "dots" between the words as opposed to blanks.
