How do I get rid of ..................... after a outline letter?

[elaine]

I merged two files, trying to type in the new one, add a outline letter, hit
tab, then all these .................... keep showing up everytime. We used
to use office 03, now we have 07. Can someone help me? Also how do I merge
documents, and keep all the old information that was in the old document in
the new one. Everytime I accept the changes, it deletes what I need in the
document, and keeps what was in the new document before the merge.

What you are seeing is a tab leader. You will need to check the "Set left
and first indent with tabs and backspaces" option on the AutoFormat As You
Type tab of the AutoCorrect dialog box; that way, the Tab key will work with
outline-numbered lists.

To display the AutoCorrect dialog box: Click the Office button, and then
click Word Options. In the Proofing category, click the AutoCorrect Options
button.

Also how do I
merge
documents, and keep all the old information that was in the old document
in
the new one. Everytime I accept the changes, it deletes what I need in
the
document, and keeps what was in the new document before the merge.
