If not, I now know where to go for other controls in Word 7. BTW, the list owes you a big 'thank you' for all the unselfish help you provide on an endless variety of questions and you have my thanks for all you do for sure.

Then depending on your version of Word you will find some checkboxes in a page specific to editing or display. There are a number of characters there that can be displayed, or not, to your preference.
