what does the "degree" sign mean in format doc?

Word has put a "degree" sign in front of the hard return after each
paragraph. This is causing more spaces than needed after each paragraph. Help

It's a non-breaking space. You can copy one of them, then hit Ctrl+H, paste
it into the Find What box. Don't put anything in the Replace with box, and
hit Replace all. That deletes them all.

That would keep the non-breaking spaces and delete all real spaces (at least in Word2003).

Use ^s in "Find what", and replace with spaces.
If you don't remember the "^s" placeholder, look under "Special" in the Find dialog: Non-breaking spaces should be listed there among other special characters.

Klaus
