OK... rushing as always, but having problems while rushing! Of course - if I didn't need it, I would not have had any problems with it!

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!

Thanks everyone! ▲ Collapse

Display hidden text Jun 24, 2006

Hi Dusica,
This has been covered several times - search this forum for "hidden text".

Make sure the display of all non-printable characters is activated (Tools - Options - Display). This is a standard Word feature.

HTH, Ralf
