In my MS WORD 2003 document, all of the sudden, and without me doing anything
but simply writing, I notice that the footnote separator disappeared when I
tried to view it in print layout view. So, I went into Normal and then chose
footnote sepatator. What I saw is this: the separator with 2 questions marks
at the right end: ___________?? I have never seen this. I can not delete
the questions marks. Even when I try to restore the default separator, I
still cannot view it in layout mode.

What in the world is going on here? How can I get the separator back?

Thanks.
