Printing Punctuation and format

[John Webb]

I'm sure that this is a newbie question but how in Word 2000 do I print text
and format marks., showing a dot for a space and an arrow for a tab.
Application is data scrubbing in SQL DTS to hunt for re-occurance of ASCI
codes.
Any help really appreciated

Hi John,

You ended up on a Mac newsgroup by mistake so I can tell you how to print
such characters on a Mac and you'll have to translate to Windows or post
back to a WinWord newsgroup.

If you want to do this for one document only, when you get the Print dialog
you navigate to the settings for Microsoft Word and click on the Word
Options button. That will bring up a dialog that allows you to choose which
hidden items you wish to print.

You can do the same thing permanently from the Preferences> Print dialog,
which on Windows is Tools> Options> Print (I believe).

Hope this helps.

Hi John:

Sorry: Those format marks (or "Non-printing characters") are not in the
file and cannot be printed.

You "can" use Find/replace to insert the characters you wish to see, as
actual characters in the text file, and that's what I would do. Search for
a "Space" and replace it with a character of your choice, and searching for
a tab (^t) and replacing with Unicode 8594 (a right arrow)

Of take a screen-dump (Alt + PrntScrn on a PC) of your screen and print
that.

Cheers

1 Sorry about being in the MAC group for the question.
2 I'm amazed at the answer, but have reconciled myself and will therefore
have to write a VBWord "macro" to do the replacements.
3 I hope someone in Redmond has seen this question and answer
4 Very many thanks for the responses.
