is there a description of the formatting marks used by Word?

[Bobby at Blackford]

In Word when formatting marks are displayed small squares are displayed in
some positions. What do they mean? Is there are general description of all
the marks that could be displayed?

 

[Stefan Blom]

Yes, there is. See:

What do all those funny marks, like the dots between the words in my
document, and the square bullets in the left margin, mean?

Thanks Stefan. Just what I was looking for. My search on "formatting marks"
didn't reveal anything.

 

[Stefan Blom]

You are welcome.

Actually, if you search on "formatting marks" in Word help, one
of the search results is

One thing is missing in the MVS article. How can I remove extraneous cell
markers. I do not remember putting them in and I can not get rid of them.
They cause me to have what amounts to blank pages I can not get rid of.

Thanks,
Ivan
