Word 2003 Form

[Bons]

Hi Guys! I have a form I created in Word 2003 that has worked fine for a few
years. Now all of my fields have little grey brackets in them. It still
works, but its a little disconcerting when working on these. Does anyone
know what could have cased this to start happening???? I've checked
everything I can think of and cannot locate what got changed. I've found
answers here to most of my puter probs and hoping to do it again. Thanks in
advance for any help you can give on this!!

I have almost the same problem!! When I type, there is a strange backwards
"P" sign after every sentence!! When I type, it's like this:
I.want.to.kill.someone. There is a thick black dot like thingie instead of
the space between words!! This is horrible! I have to submit a report
tomorrow! I don't know what to do!!

I think I know what your problem is Meenah.....I believe you somehow got your
Paragraphing turned on...........look at the top of your toolbars---look very
closely----you should see a backwards sort of P like you described. Click on
that and they should go away....Hope this helps get your report out on time!!

THANK YOU SUZANNE!!!!!!!!! I think what happened was that someone asked me
about a totally different matter and I started experimenting and didn't
notice what that little button did! I really appreciate your help!!! I've
learned so much on this site from great people like you! Have a Super
weekend!!
