Can
I diagnose formatting problems
You can use the Show/Hide button [
] on the Standard toolbar to display paragraph marks, spaces, tabs, and other
normally invisible characters that are embedded in the text. To diagnose a
paragraph formatting problem, click in the paragraph that is in question, then
choose Paragraph from the Format menu to see all of the settings applied in that
paragraph. If you select multiple paragraphs, then select the Paragraph command,
the settings that are not the same in each selected paragraph will be blank.
Another option is the What's This?
item on the Help menu:
- Choose that command.
- Click on the text you want to
check. A balloon will appear with some information about the formatting.
To diagnose a font formatting
problem, click on the text that is in question. The current font and font size
are displayed on the Formatting toolbar, if it is displayed . You can also
choose Font from the Format menu to see all of the settings applied to the
characters where you clicked. Since different character formatting could
conceivably be applied to adjoining characters, you may have to remove all of
the font settings from a block of text that is causing problems, then redo it.
If you select a block of text, then select the Font command, the settings that
are not the same in each selected paragraph will be blank.
