Fred Since you're using Outlook, maybe this. When you are typing a message, at the top there is a tab called "format text" If you click on that, you will see the same formatting as Word. One is a "paragraph" sign (reverse "P"), near the center. Click on that. Your dots and such should disappear.

Now, indeed that is strange! When I sent this email there were all kinds of strange little marks throughout, but now they are gone. While thankful they are gone, I wonder what they were and where they came from.

Pat, how in the world I ever turned that _on_, I will never know, but am so happy you recognized the problem and took the time to instruct. Thank you for your time and help.
