Unwanted dot BELOW a letter

[Guest]

I have a dot appearing below a letter. It also prints there. If I delete or
cut the letter the dot jumps to the previous letter. Deleting the paragraph
deletes the dot. (This is not the dots that represent spaces.) How can I
get rid of it?
Thanks.

Nope, no clue -- it isn't anything I've ever seen or heard of.

If you still had the original document with the dot in place, I'd offer to
take a look at it. It could be a stray bit of a drawing object, but there's
nothing in plain-vanilla Word that behaves that way.

Hi Bristol

No, no one at all has replied. I just deleted the paragraph and retyped (a
minor pain).

Could be some Shape (Image, etc.) anchored to the paragraph.

Failing that, I'd investigate all display options/unprintable
characters, and might land at some obscure far eastern feature. Almost
impossible w/o seeing the document, of course.

Possibly some kind of dotted underline, either applied with Format | Font or
one of the many indicating Hidden text or the presence of Smart Tags or
whatever.
