Funny symbol appears when I cut from internet and paste into Word
Hello,
I am currently working on a table in Word using information that I have copied from an internet site. When I go to paste info into my Word table, a tiny blue square with a white "L" appears before the text. When I hover over it, it says "javascript: void(0); ctrl + click to follow link." (Of course all the links are dead.) These symbols are all in the same column. I really want to delete these symbols, so that I can have a text only table, but they won't budge. My question is this: how can I delete all of these symbols at once? I have dozens of them, and it would be so much easier if I could delete them all at once. Also I'm using Windows 2000 Professional. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. |

The symbols you are seeing represent items such as JavaScript code
that don't display in a printed document. I don't know of a way to delete them all in one step. However, rather than pasting from the web site, you can paste as "Unformatted text", via Edit | Paste Special; that way, the items won't be pasted into Word at all. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "kscott93" wrote in message ...
