They look like the red underlines you get with misspellings, but they can cover the whole text. I have tried various language and grammar check settings but no success. *Sometimes* a modification of the paragraph style removes them. This mat work completely, or work for a while. Any hints on what to do.? _____________ Bob Trussler ************************************************** To post a message to austechwriter, send the message to austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe to austechwriter, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" in the Subject field.
