Hidden Text
I have a document that has hidden text in it that I cannot seem to find.
This was a document that I received, deleted all the text and wrote my info in (I liked the originals formatting). However, there is text that I cannot find in order to delete. If I save as a TEXT only file, I see it in the preview when I am saving. However, I do not see it when I open the file. I cannot determine any view where I can get to the text. I can use search to look for the text, but it will not show up in the search results. Suggestions? |

You should press CTRL+SHIFT+8 which will display all the hidden text as
well as the hidden characters such as hard returns, manual page breaks, section breaks, tabs, spaces, etc. The hidden text will be formatted with a dotted underline under the text.

Good Deal!
CTRL+SHIFT+8 will toggle them on or off depending. Personally, I work with the hidden characters always showing, but I know some people who are bothered by them so only turn them on occasionally. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.
