What is hidden formatting mark that appears as a circle with four axis lines
extending outside circle. It is causing my document to abort printing at
that point.

It's an end-of-cell marker, end-of-row marker, or end-of-table marker in a
table. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm

What did I do to create it (it was in only one out of 12 tables) and how do
I delete it (since it caused printing problems)?

Did you read the article Suzanne pointed you to?

Beyond inserting a table, you didn't do anything to cause it. It is normal
to see these in tables.

Yes, I did. The article explained "what" the symbol was but did not advise
why it caused the document to stop printing at that point or how to correct
the problem.
Thanks.

Thanks, Suzanne. At least I know it is normal. Can you tell me why it
caused the document to stop printing at that exact point?

Linda

Probably a corruption. Try using File, Open, selecting the document and then
use Open and Repair (the little arrow next to the OPEN button).
