   Hope this is correct forum; if not please direct me.  I've done
something that caused all my Word documents to fill in blank lines between
pages with "musical notes"--at least they look like them.  Also arrows, both
straight and curved.  Help, please.  I assemble computers, but know little
about software & using comp's.--this is MS Office Pro 2000.
   Thanks for any help in 'undecorating' my documents.  s

These are non-printable characters that can help the writer see what is
going on:

¶ is a hard return or a paragraph mark (When Enter is pressed)
a dot is a space
a straight arrow is a tab
an arrow down and to the left is a soft return or manual line break
(Shift-Enter)
a single dotted line across the page is a manual page break (CTRL-Enter)
a double dotted liner across the page is a section break (Insert > Break)
etc.

Personally, I al;ways work with those displayed, except when I want to see
what the print out will look like.

To turn these on or off, click on the "Show All" button represented by "¶"
on the standard toolbar, next to the Zoom drop down.

Salut!

   Thanks for the reply and education.  Followed your advice, and now all
is well.  That paragraph mark was the musical note I referred to.  Hopefully
I can return the help to someone in one of the computer-building forums.
Have a good day & weekend.  s
