Every time I go to type in one of the tables I've created, the "show/hide"
comes on, adds a second page and takes me to page 2 when I need to type on
page one. Needless to say, all the little marks it includes are very annoying
as well. The "show/hide" comes on all by itself. I don't press/click any
special keys or anything. How do I get this to stop! It is very time
consuming and annoying.

Are you using *any* keyboard shortcut in tables? It is possible that
one of those has been reassigned to the ShowAll command (which
displays all nonprinting characters).

To find out, first display the Customize Keyboard dialog box: On the
Tools menu, click
Customize, and then click Keyboard.

Then, in the "Categories" box, choose "All Commands." In the
"Commands" box, locate ShowAll. The "Current keys" box displays the
currently assigned shortcuts. You can delete undesired shortcuts by
selecting them and then clicking the Remove button.

The show/hide comes on whenever I press ANY key on the keyboard whenever I
start typing in a new box on the table, so I dont think it was the commands,
but I tried your suggestion anyway, and it did not work. Thanks anyway.
