formatting symbols can't be deleted

S

sharon

Yesterday, all my word docs suddenly started sprouting the
formatting symbols, such as the paragraph sign & other
goggledigook. They can't be deleted manually.

I can find nothing in format, tools or view menus that
help. Word "help" is useless. I called a pay-for-advice
online group who told me the program was corrupted &
should be reinstalled. I did so - same problem.

I'm using office 2002, windows 2000, plenty of memory pc.
Programs's worked fine for about 2 years.

I have deleted normal.dot from templates and tried to make
a new one without formatting symbols appearing. No luck.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am near tears in
frustration.
