Other characters in a document

[Guest]

Hi,

We have 1 PC using Word 2000 and all the documents we view that was sent
from someone else has a bunch of characters throughout the document. How can
we get ride of these extra characters? I would think that the view is setup
somehow to display these characters.

Thanks

Your description isn't enough to help us identify what's happening,
but maybe you have nonprinting characters displayed -- see
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm. Try
clicking the ¶ button on the toolbar to see if that fixes it.
