Thanks for the response, part of which solves the problem. I was not expecting anything different, I do know what non-printing characters are typically displayed (spaces, paragraph marks, tabs, etc.). I went into Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org Writer->Formatting Aids and did find that the things I was looking for (the spaces, paragraph marks, tabs) were in fact unchecked. How they became unchecked is a bit of a mystery, because with 2.0 they apparently were checked, as I could view the non-printing characters. Anyway, I checked all of the boxes and now I'm able to view non-printing characters as before. In a message dated 12/23/2005 8:11:49 AM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

Probably you are expecting something different. The non-printing characters in this case are carriage returns and spaces (e.g. will be shown as small dots instead of the plain spaces). And another thing: The toggle to view non-printing characters depend on the settings in Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org Writer->Formatting Aids->Display of... Everything that is checked there will be displayed if View->Non-printing characters is turned on. Probably you have unchecked everything here. -- _______________________________________ Martin Wildam (Development and Support) MAY Computer GmbH Microsoft Solution Provider Galvanigasse 2 A-1210 Vienna/Austria Tel.: +43 (1) 278 20 80 - 32, Fax: +43 (1) 278 20 80 - 22 VoIP: sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: callto://martin.wildam Mobile: +43 (699) 1069 51 51 E-Mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.may.co.at Free PDF printer driver from MAY Computer at http://www.pdfprinter.at --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
