Desperately needs help! Don’t know how to describe.

Hi, I’m having a major problem. When I’m typing, there are these dots that
appear every time I use the space bar and a funny music script like shape for
every paragraph. When I print, they don’t appear, that’s a good thing. Does
anyone know how to turn it off?

Hi Celine,

Just click the ¶ button on the toolbar (same shape as the paragraph
marker). The stuff you're seeing -- generally called "nonprinting
characters" -- is turned on or off each time you click that button.
See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm for
more about this.
