I have Word 97, but it should work the same. In the "Find and Replace" box where it says "Find what", put in the symbol < (or < ) Then in the "Replace with" box, leave empty or enter a space. Press the "Replace" button. And if that doesn't work, there should be instructions in the "Help". Enter "find". That may come up with "find and replace" guidance or something similar.

Thanks, Woody, I will give it a try.

Woody, Some years ago on this List, I learned about a free program I could download that was called "Cut it Out".  I really did like it, but when my old computer quit I lost it.  I can't find it again.  It was very easy to use in getting rid of things like those "formatting marks".  Have you heard of it?  I'd love to find it and download it again.
