Hi! I'm hardly what you would call a new user, but I
didn't know what other category would fit my problem.

I am creating a document (computer manual) and I would
like to reference drives, such as c:\. But every time I
type the \ symbol, I get a W with a slash through it! I
tried it in other documents, and it works OK...just not
THIS one. I turned off all the autoformat and autocorrect
items I thought would be causing it, to no avail. I've
never encountered this before, in all my years of using
Word...any ideas?

Never mind...I must be brain dead! It's the font I'm
using. I never used Batang before...when I change it to
Times New Roman, the \ appears as it should...learn
something new every day!
 
If you want some oddities, try the font
"MyHairIsOnFire." Just kidding. Thanks
for letting us know about your resolution.
We all learn from these episodes.

Gotta watch those "all caps" fonts, too.
They'll drive you batty. Caps lock is not
enabled. What's going on?
