Suzanne - right guillemet
I posted a question yesterday about this symbol. You identified it and
supposed that it was the indication for a Style Separator. It doesn't seem as though either Word 2002 or 2003 displays that symbol after inserting the Style Separator. Now my curiosity is aroused. Your referenced run-in sideheads article explains very well how to accomplish what I'd like to do. This is simply curiosity about what the creator of the document where the symbol did in order to make it appear. Are you aware of any Microsoft technical resources that could identify and explain this? Thanks, both for yesterday's comments and for all the advice you render in this forum. |

As I said to begin with, I've never seen this before. Was the document
created in another app (WordPerfect, for example)? Does the the guillemet disappear if you hide Hidden text? Does it display anything different if you display field codes (Alt+F9)? I'm curious about this, too, and would be interested in looking at it. You can send a *very small* sample to sbarnhill (at) mvps (dot) org. -- Suzanne S.

The symbol shows up only when when I display formatting codes; nothing
changes when I display fields. I've sent a one paragraph example to you. Isn't it odd that Microsoft doesn't document all these codes/symbols? The MVPs have done a nice job doing so, but it seems as though some of the explanations have to be divined from circumstantial evidence, and the MVPs may not even have discovered all that need to be documented.
