Deleting little boxes in text in Word

[Mark]

I get little boxes appearing in Word text especially from older versions of
Word that I am now running in Word 2003. Somehow the migration to newer
versions of Word cause these boxes to appear. My question is: How does one
delete these boxes?

Where in the text do you see the boxes? Note that they could be nonprinting
marks; see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm.

The boxes appear between words, they sometimes have a capital letter ending
after a series of these boxes and they sometimes appear in a row at the top
of a document. I will find out later today whether these print when I am at
my home computer.

Some fonts display spaces as squares.
