Microsoft Word - Page View Query?
Hi, All
I have pressed something (don't know what, I'm afraid) in MS Word.
I am typing a Microsoft Word document, and everytime i hit return, I get a backwards 'P', hit space, I get a '.' and when hitting tab i get an arrow.
I've tried closing word and re-opening, but it's still the same.
Please help as it's driving me mad!

look up on the taskbar at the top of your screen and you'll see the backwards P symbol... click that to turn it off and all that will disappear

The is a button up the top in the icon bar. It looks like a backwards P.
You have hit the show/hide formatting marks.
If you cannot find the button.
Go to format
reveal formatting
and down the bottom of the window unclick the check box that says "show all formatting marks".

Two ways:
1 - Uninstall your MS office from your System by placing the cd & reinstall it.
2 - Check the Font style, some styles show different letters.

it's either your pc has a virus, or you just happened to have changed the font style to something undecipherable like webdings
if it's the former, i suggest not doing anything drastic first
just uninstall the microsoft office software, then install it again
if it still doesn't solve the problem, try scanning your pc for any viruses you might have caught, then try deleting the culprit file that's causing the virus
