Tom,
My colleague and I are stuck with a Word 2007 problem. It occurs mostly when I press Ctrl Enter for a new page. The program inserts a line of dots (small squares one tenth inch sides) that will not delete. How do I stop this happening. It does NOT seems to be an auto-correct problem
Hope you can help.
When I try to enter a a reason for this call for help, the field does not permit it
Grateful for your advice
Robert
