this little gray sign in the spaces Solved

Question

Hello,

What is this small gray character like a fat but immobile cursor that appears in a space, for example before a semicolon or after a " in OpenOffice 4
Can it be made to disappear?
Surely someone can answer me, thank you in advance.

But how can I remove this non-breaking space symbol? Because I also have this symbol. I didn't have it before. Moreover, it seems to me that it is causing a lot of space before and after certain punctuation marks.

Can someone please tell me how to remove this symbol as gretchen33 requested who opened this post?

Awdeline · Answer

Raymond, I can't find this symbol in my toolbar.

Thank you, Raymond, for the image that is worth a thousand explanations. But I don't have that symbol. At least, it is not displayed.

Awdeline · Answer

Raymond, I saw how to put this symbol. I was able to insert it and I activated it. But my problem doesn't come from there. In fact, a small gray rectangle is displayed. Not this symbol.

Right now I have a new problem concerning my password. Nothing is easy with computers.
I’ll keep you posted tomorrow.
Have a nice day.

PapyLuc51, I still followed your advice. Great. It works. Thank you. And thanks to Raymond too. No jealousy. Lol.  My problem is solved.
