In my Outlook 2003 everytime I type an email, it keeps showing all sorts of
strange characters. Everytime I press space, a dot appears and likewise
everytime I press the space button, I get the symbol for a paragraph. It has
started all of a sudden and I can't find an answer in Help to get it off.
How do I get it to stop doing this?
 
Sounds like you need to turn off the option to show formatting in Word and
you're using Word as your email editor. If so, open Word, go to the Tools
menu > Options command and uncheck the options on the View tab
 
Ctrl+Shift+*
