You are using Word, not Windows, 2003, and the setting "Show paragraph
marks" is turned on. It is a button with a fat P-like figure on yout toolbar, click it. You are also posting Word problems to an Excel forum. Word is a program that comes free with Excel purchases, but there is far better Word knowledge in a Word forum ;-) HTH.

Harald, you must be psychic!
That backwards P symbol is called a pilcrow. (I like trivia.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilcrow (to see a picture) In MSWord 2003, you can also toggle this via: Tools|Options|View tab Uncheck the options in the Formatting marks section. (Or uncheck as many as you want????) Harald Staff wrote: You are using Word, not Windows, 2003, and the setting "Show paragraph marks" is turned on.
