paragraph symbol and dot between all words in reply & forwards

[Nina Marie]

m getting strange symbols in my replies and forwards but others don't see.
Possibly paragraph symbol and also dots showing in between each word I type.
Did not change anything myself.

Sounds like you have formatting marks turn on in Word. (Its Tools > Options

Am using Office 2007 and went to Word>options>display> and all are unchecked
in area "Always show these formatiing marks on screen". The paragraph
symobol is there what I see on my forwardes and replys but it is not checked.
At least I know what it is. Any other ideas? Could this have started with
Tuesday's Office updates from Microsoft this week? Started Wed. or Thurs.

Do they go away if you hit Control - Shift - 8?

YES!!! Thanks so much. It took pressing few times and for a while after the
symbols were flashing but it did stop. What caused this?

No idea. Most common reason I can think of is accidentally hitting
control-shift-8 in the first place.

Found out how they start showing are when compose new mail>format
text>paragraph symbols show/hide are down there. Have no idea how I could
have gotten down there but f.h really helped me to start. Just wanted to
folow up and say thanks.
