I am having a problem with Word 2000. A small symbol has appeared in front of the cursor when I open a new Word document and I cannot remove it. I have tried highlight and delete but that does not work. Word now also leaves a dash or this symbol in every space. Also when I open up an existing Word document that I know was fine before it too now has these symbols right through it corrupting the document. I have tried removing the Word program and reloading it but the problem is still there. Can anyone advise me please on how to resolve this problem.
