When copying HTML pages into Words 2003, the program has started inserting
dots between words. Why? And how to prevent it?

Do you _not_ see the dots in other Word files??

If you don't, then the problem isn't that you've turned on Show Non-
Printing Characters (Ctrl-Shift-8).

how do you get rid of them i tried to use (Ctrl+Shift+8) like 5 billion times and all it shows is the paragraph marks and will not take away the dumb floating dots... they are very distracting and i can not finish writing my junior research paper... AND IT IS DUE TOMORROW!
