Disable Formatting marks when using MS Word 2003 in Outlook

[harold]

I'm using Outlook 2003 with Word 2003 as my editor. While
cutting and pasting a web page into a new msg Outlook
started displaying the Formating marks like the Paragraph
symbol, spacing, etc. This occurs for both new messages
and replies. I want to turn displaying these marks off
while using Word 2003 as my editor but have been unable
to do so. They remain unless I remove Word as my Outlook
editor.
Thanks in advance for any help
Harold

Load up Word, click on Tools, then Options.

In the View tab, there is a section called Formatting marks. You probalby
have the "All" box ticked. Untick it, or any that are ticked.

Thanks Steve I tried this. But no luck. They ALL button
wasn't ticked and although I tried various combinations
of changing these and starting/stopping Outlook. The New
Message and Reply still display the Formating Marks. It
appears that Outlook uses a different template or view
than my default Word 2003.

Kind Regards,
Harold

I had the same problem. What has happen is the master template for word
has been corrupted all you need to do is delete or rename the
normal.dot file to normal.old located in C:\Documents and
Settings\%user profile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates

When you open word it will create a new one and your problem should be
solved hope that helps.
