We weren't able to get that to work but I was able to walk my mom
through copying and pasting the text into a new document, so we got rid
of the symbol. Thanks.

You don't say what type of document. This applies for Calc and Writer
and probably for the other apps.
Use View >Toolbars and select "Form Controls". You will see an icon
for "Design Mode On/Off". Clicking on that should enable you to
select the symbol and delete it.
I hope so.

My mom was trying out NeoOffice (which is based on OpenOffice.org
2.0.3) on her new Intel Mac (10.4.7) and she saw something that told
her to customize her installation (I think this was a pop up window
intended as a help feature). Anyway she navigated her way into some
sort of preferences trying to set what she called a "theme".
Anyway, she ended up with a megaphone symbol in her document. Is
there an easy way to get rid of this? I told her to click on it and
then press delete to get rid of it, but she said that didn't work. I
though it might be a macro, ole, or plugin, but after experimenting
with it, I couldn't get the same symbol by inserting those. I have a
hard time believing it is a sound, because she doesn't have any on
her Mac, she doesn't play CDs or RIP them on her Mac, and she doesn't
have an Internet connection, so I don't know how she could find a
sound to put in there. This is definitely an OpenOffice.org/NeoOffice
thing as when she quit NeoOffice, it went away. I think it is just in
one document.
