I am using a table in microsoft word (Office XP) for
some reason there appeared in each cell of my table a symbol It looks like a small circle inside of a small square. Does anyone know what this symbol means? Or how I can get it outta my table? Thanks for any help |

Interesting choice of anonym! ;-) What you're seeing is the table end-of-cell mark. The mark doesn't print, but AFAIK there is no way to turn off display of the end-of-cell mark in a table.

There is always the option to toggle off the display of non-printing
characters CTRL+Shift+* -- Greg Maxey A peer in "peer to peer" support Rockledge, FL To e-mail, edit out the "w...spam" in garfield-n-odie wrote: Interesting choice of anonym! ;-) What you're seeing is the table end-of-cell mark.

Hi, Greg. I just tried that, and it doesn't turn off the table
end-of-cell mark. Greg Maxey wrote: There is always the option to toggle off the display of non-printing characters CTRL+Shift+* |

In ToolsOptionsView, there are (at least in my version) 6 choices for
viewing of formatting (non-printing) characters. If either 'Paragraph marks' or 'All' is checked, end-of-cell and end-of-row markers will display. So if you had everything checked on the View tab rather than just All, and did CTRL+Shift+* (or clicked the toolbar button), you would still see these because that command only toggles the 'All' setting without affecting the other five.

gno,
Do your pilcrow (paragraph marks) toggle off when you CTRL+Shift+* ? If no, ToolsOptionsViewFormatting Marks and uncheck "Paragraph marks." End of cell markers display is also dependent on this setting. -- Greg Maxey A peer in "peer to peer" support Rockledge, FL To e-mail, edit out the "w...spam" in garfield-n-odie wrote: Hi, Greg.

G'Day BitchKimmPossible,
Acknowledgements to previous contributors..... In summary (for now): Tools Options View (Tab) Formatting marks (Section half-way down) Tab characters UNcheck Spaces UNcheck Paragraph Marks UNcheck Hidden Text UNcheck Optional hyphens UNcheck All CHECK Use CTRL+*, which is the same as CTRL+SHIFT+8, to turn all these ON or OFF. You can also use the "¶" button on the Standard toolbar. Later on you can change the check boxes to taste. -- Regards, Pat Garard Australia ______________________________________ |

Hi, Greg. You guessed it... I always run with spaces, tabs, and
paragraph marks visible, so Ctrl+Shift+* doesn't turn off the end-of-cell marks for me. I didn't realize the paragraph marks were related to the end-of-cell marks, but it does make sense now that you mention it.
