getting rid of paragraph signs in Word 2007
I've hit a button by mistake and my document is full of formating
signs. Can someone tell me how to turn this off? Also, how can I turn off auto-correct and get UK rather than US spelling? I really think this new version is a retrograde step. |

Ctrl+Shift+8 toggles the nonprinting formatting characters on/off.
Office button - Word Options - Proofing - AutoCorrect Options - AutoCorrect tab. You might also want to look at AutoFormat As You Type. Setting UK spelling as your default would be done using Office 2007's Language Settings. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word Bible Blog: http://word.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "thedarkman" wrote in message ...

Yes, it seems folks never associate the ¶ on the button with the ¶s in their
documents. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...
