The first step would be to post this question to a word newsgroup.
The second step would be to connect your keyboard to another computer to see
if the problem moves with the keyboard.
The dots and backwards P charactor most likely represent bytes with the high
bit set, and the most likely source is your keyboard.

Wrong.

The period is spaces and the backwards P is the paragraph. You have the
'show punctuation' on. See if you have an icon on your tool bar that
is that backwards P icon. It will toggle those features on/off.

Tabs is another one. ->
Its there so you can see how you are formatting your document.

Sorry Jim for my last response. I should not have put the word "wrong"
in there. I know its nothing, but I don't mean to be nasty here.
There's enough of that going on.
 
Al, Thank you so much. Tara
