Point.between.each.word

Solved

Hello everyone
After my cursor positioning issue was resolved yesterday, I have another small anomaly that I can't fix by myself
With Word 2007, when I type a text, a dot is inserted between each word. If you can let me know how to fix this, I thank you in advance
Best regards

    Hello,

    It is probably not a point but the option to display non-printable characters (in this case, the character representing a space).

      Good evening,

      I completely agree with brucine. It is essential to keep the formatting marks when working properly with Word, knowing what we are doing and where we are going.

      How many people have we seen here who don’t know how to delete “empty” pages? If the marks were displayed, the question wouldn’t arise.
      And I won’t even mention all the problems created by section breaks...

        Hello,

        In Word, to remove formatting characters (the space shown as a dot, the tab shown as an arrow, ...) use this button in the Home tab
        , or CTRL + SHIFT + 8

          Hello Jee Pee

          When I click on the requested index, I erase the cursor but not the dot
          Best regards

          @TimbrofixeYou should then check under Options/Display the "Always show these formatting marks on the screen" and uncheck Space, Tab, Paragraph... (this is in Word 2021, it may be different in 2007).

        Hello.

        Don't worry: this point only appears on the screen and doesn't show up in print ...

          Good evening (at least in mainland France, even though I have an American brother, the time difference is stronger than me).

          As for me, I even intentionally display all the brands, as it makes potential formatting corrections easier in my eyes (if I may say so...).
