[stylist] Found it- I think RE: Need HELP with WORD RIBBON problem

Sat Mar 3 00:00:53 UTC 2012

THANK YOU. That did the trick!
I must have hit that little "P" icon in the area of the paragraph section of 
the HOME area.
Problem is solved.  Lynda

I believe you have the function called "show all" turned on. Here is where
you find it- press Alt h (you need to get into the home tab) then arrow down
to paragraph which is a sub menu, get into it via a right arrow or enter and
arrow down to "show all" and if this is it, then it will say that it is on
and if so, press the spacebar and turn it off.

Good luck

I am laughing! I need a BREAK.
Been working all day in Persephone's flower field - - the setting for my
poem.
whatever I "checked" on that ribbon has to be "unchecked" I believe - it
only I could find where I checked it in the first place. Did I say, I hate
that D*** ribbon, too?

Whatevr I did, I made my entire WORD function in this way. Every document I
open in Word, has all this stuff in it now. So, there must be something on
that ribbon that makes this a default in all my documents.

That's what that ripping noise was, I thought
someone was tearing up their tax bill, hmm. I
would concur with Chris, with one additional thing. I would:

1. Open your poem, highlight the whole bit and copy it to the clipboard.
2. Paste it into an empty WordPad or NotePad document
3. Copy the whole bit again to the clipboard
4. Open an empty Word doc.
5. Using the applications key, the one left of
the right CTRL key), arrow down to  you here
something like "Keep text only". Sometimes you
have to go past it and come from the bottom to
hear it, otherwise it says something about pasting the formatting.

That will keep your apostrophes in there, or
sometimes they are stripped out, which is always fun.

Oh one more step. After you paste your text in?
Head out to the local cosmetologist and pick out
yourself a wig to cover those bald spots :)
