Microsoft Word problem

using Windows XP Home and Microsoft Office 2000


my roommate was copy and pasting from a powerpoint document onto word, on my computer... i can't get this damn paragraph symbol to go away and there are points between all the words... i know it's some setting but there are so many settings in Word that i can't figure out which one it is... plus the paperclip guy wasn't much help...

thanks...

 

Look on the toolbar

for a symbol that looks exactly like the last symbol in your screenshot and click on it once, it will go away. You may havd to look on the toolbar where it says "more buttons"

 

found it in the toolbars... thx

 

Open Word. With a document open, press Ctrl and Shift and type the number 8 on the main keyboard (not on the keypad over on the right).

If that fails, make sure the Standard toolbar is showing (right clcik any toolbar and check the Standard), and click the Paragraph mark (the one that looks like the backward P in your screenshot) in the Standard toolbar. That'll turn off "show paragraph marking."

EDIT: You beat me to it, BOCCEMON! Great!

 

thx wizewiz

One handy use for that nasty ole paragraph button is: if your printer habitually (or even occasionally) prints out an extra page (blank) just fire up the paragraph tool and check your document. You'll probably find the blank page all covered with those little paragraph marks. Go to the last one on the page and click backspace and keep on clicking until all those little boogers are gone. Cures the extra page prob the easy way (at least the easy way for me)
