spacebar dots

[ctstevens]

Every time I use the spacebar, I show dots on my screen...they don't print,
but I don't want them. How do I turn this off?

In Word 2003 or earlier, click on Tools | Options | View tab | uncheck
the "All" and "Spaces" boxes | OK. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm for more
information.

I suspect you have the Show/Hide button ON. This displays non-printable
characters. The dots will not print so don't worry.
Frankly, I recommend the Show/Hide button (it's that "pi" pictogram on
the toolbar) ON, as you see better what y 'r doing, but indeed many
people find them disturbing. If you insist, just toggle the Show/Hide
button.
