Dots 1-2-4-6 fm is the format marker that appears at the start of every line in 
.doc and .rtf files created or transferred into the BN.  There's no use 
deleting them since they reappear when you return to the files.  There's no 
reason to delete them because they do not affect the embossed or ink-print form 
of the document.
If you create a Word or Rich Text Format file on the computer and open it in 
Keyword, sometimes you would see more format markers in the text itself.  This 
happens if you have tables or different indentions, or have moved text (like 
when sighted people drag a column to a different part of the page using the 
mouse).  Deleting them will mess up the formatting.

BTW, I think it was also you who posted a question about .doc files on the BN 
opening as RTF in the computer.  That's true, the so-called Microsoft Word 
documents created in Keyword are really RTF files.  Actually, you'll see this 
in the list of file types presented in the Save As dialog box, and it's 
referred to as Word 6.0/95/97 (RTF).

HTH,
