Hi Lori, Well, I don't know about a secret. But you can do a find and replace to get rid of those. The verticle bar is created by capitalizing the backslash key. So, if you type that in the find box of the find and replace dialogue and nothing in the replace box, then replace all, they'll all go away. The broken verticle bar is something you can find using JAWS if you press the JAWS insert key and the 4 in the number row, JAWS will bring up a list of special characters. If you look through that list and hit enter on the one that you want, it will print it into your document. So, for broken verticle bar, I'd place my cursor at the top of my document, make that list paste the character where your cursor is, then select that character, and find and replace with nothing. And those will disappear too. Does that help?

I took a peak in the special symbols under find and replace and didn't see anything there.
