For all those out there who don’t believe in the tinfoil hat theories, how do you explain this? Even MS Word is into DOTS !!!! It’s a sign folks, it’s the latest conspiracy, I just know it! :tinfoil: :D


I*don't*what*the*heck* I*did*but* suddenly* I've* got* "*" *appearing* in-between*each*word*I*type*even*if*it* is*a*copy/paste.

(actually it's not an * but a raised dot but I can't duplicate the symbol here in this post)

The * don't show in the print-out version of my text (thank goodness) but it is quite annoying to deal with them when I am working on a document.

How do I turn it off? And please don't tell me to look for help in that equally annoying & goofy looking Freindly PaperClip Office Assistant 'cos I can't stand him either. He wasn't of any help with this situation anyway so I turned him off again. I was going to post a sampling of what I'm dealing with but the dots didn't show, perhaps they are all just a figmanet of my tinfoiled head? :rolleyes:

Sounds like you are looking for the button the disables the viewing of formatting marks. If it's on the tool bar it should look like the following image. In the menu It is under Tools --> Options --> View --> Formatting Marks

HALLELUJAH!!! Bless your heart pave spectre, it worked!!!
Don't ask me how in the world I managed to check that feature but I'm glad it is now UNchecked thanks to you.

Perhaps I can return the favor by helping you find your penquin? Are any of these (http://www.angelfire.com/pe/penguindance/) him/her?

Lol... I have that now too, I was searching for something and turned it on, and I've not bothered to take the time to find out how to turn it off, so thanks pave!

Here's a beer for your trouble: :bigbeer:

I always blame the cats. I've learned all sorts of strange things by having to undo something they did while playing with keyboard.
