Hi Joan, For a fairly permanent solution, in Word, go to the Tools menu, and select Options. Go to the View Tab, and make sure that none of the boxes in the Formatting Marls section are checked. Close and restart Word to be sure it has taken. George. ________________________________ From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joan Muir Sent: 30 December 2005 12:22 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Space and paragraph markers Hi, Folks, I know I asked this before and thought I'd saved the appropriate Email but, with my usual inefficiency, I didn't save it. In MS Word, all I get is space marker and paragraph marker said before each word. How did I get this to happen and how can I remove it please? Please help before I murder the computer! Best wishes to all for 2006, Joan.
