<h1>Show/hide nonprinting characters</h1>
|
|
<p>Nonprinting characters help you edit a document. They indicate the presence of various types of formatting, but they do not print with the document, even when they are displayed on the screen.</p>
|
|
<p>To show or hide nonprinting characters, click the <b>Nonprinting characters</b> <img alt="Nonprinting characters" src="../images/nonprintingcharacters.png" /> icon at the <b>Home</b> tab of the top toolbar. Alternatively, you can use the <em>Ctrl+Shift+Num8</em> key combination.</p>
|
|
<p>Nonprinting characters include:</p>
|
|
