proofing tools show extra characters and words
In a few select cases I have found that showing proofing tools ( the paragraph mark ) will also show random characters and words. And by random I mean it looks like previous revision/edits so semi- or full words but not quite sensical. Here is an example:
Without proofing tools:
And with proofing tools on:
notice how
"epsring e/g applicable of workl records of workd devices processed at ture needed to achieve conformity to product requirement"
shows up.
What and where does this come from and any way to prevent it?
That appears to be hidden text. (the dotted underline)
Where it came from, I cannot tell you The keyboard shortcut to make text hidden is Ctrl+Shift+H.
These are generally referred to as non-printing formatting marks in Word jargon.

YES that is it. I have not heard of this 'hidden text' feature and wonder what it is good for. Is this the predecessor to comments? That article mentioned you could do some creative formating using it but it would seem to be of limited use since only that have it turned on will see it. Does anyone have any useful applications for it?
