Hi Abe-
The 'dots' usually indicate where a space has been typed, but I've never seen them red unless the spaces were inserted while Track Changes was turned on. Normally the dots are gray and elevated above the baseline of the text to avoid confusion with periods. If that is what they are, you can simply click the ΒΆ (Show/Hide) button on the standard toolbar to hide/reveal them. They are a part of what are called 'non-printing' characters that indicate where & how white space is created in the document. If that doesn't fix it, post back with as much detail as you can, including version info. HTH |:) "Abe" wrote: when typing in Word, redots dots appear between each word.

Didn't see that fact. I don't know? Unless the text is red? Or there
is confusion between the dots and the red squiggles for...what one is red, Grammar? Dian ~ On Mon, 30 May 2005 21:53:52 -0400, "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: But, why on earth would they be red? |

No, grammar is green. Spelling is red, but the squiggles are just under
words, not under the spaces, and the dots still aren't red. I think it has to be something to do with Track Changes (inserted spaces are red if red is selected as the markup color). -- Suzanne S.

When in Outlook 2003 the user creates a new message and when he starts typing the spaces between the words, automatically three red dots appear at the bottom of the line between the words, as if you made three red periods like ... This just started up for no apparent reason though I suspect he may have been clicking on options. I know for sure that there is nothing checked under tools\options\view\formatting marks AND there is no red text being used. The dots are red and the letters are black as you normally would type them. -- Super_Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via http://www.mcse.ms ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread: http://www.mcse.ms/message1632847.html |
