[Edwdailey]

MS Word
How do you stop the periods or dots appearing on the screen when typing?
Not sure what happened but cannot find way to make it stop.

Office 2000

Anyone ever have this problem, can you tell me what to change?

what "view" set up are you on ?

If in addition to the dots you also see a backwards P at the end of each
paragrah, then it sounds like you have your formatting marks showing. On your
toolbar, look for a button that looks like a backwards P (proofreader's mark
for paragraph). Click it to toggle this feature off. If you don't see it on
your toolbar, go to View> Toolbars > Customize > Commands > and drag this
button onto your toolbar. Then follow as listed above.

It's not a problem.

You pressed Ctrl-Shift-8.
