Formating the templates and styles in word 2000

[hirize]

Somehow my default settings changed to paragraph style from character
style(or at least, that's the way I see it). I'm new to this program but
I've followed the help menu step by step and cannot get the paragraph style
back to character style so I'm getting the paragraph symbol and the words
separated by dots when I use the word processor. Can anyone tell me what I
may be doing wrong or better yet, how to fix this? Thanks

"Paragraph style" and "character style" have nothing to do with what you're
seeing. You have displayed nonprinting characters by clicking the ¶ button on
the toolbar. Click it again to turn them off.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm for an
explanation.

Thanks a bunch...you know, I can hit 8 notes per second on a five string
banjo but couldn't figure out how to click the little icon to fix my
problem...So simple when you shine a little knowledge on it! Thanks again.
