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).
