Default Why are full stops appearing in between every word I type??


Hi,

When I type an email a dot appears inbetween each word, like a full stop. Not sure how this happened. Also the 'P' for paragraph has appeared at the end of every sentence I type.
Anybody any idea of how to get rid of these.

You are displaying formatting characters. In Word click the ¶ button on the home tab. In Outlook message format CTRL+* (CTRL+SHIFT+8) to toggle the display. This shortcut works in Word also
A dot represents a space, the pilcrow (¶) represents a paragraph break (you should only see this when you press Enter).
