What's your evidence for this? Do you see no raised points where you have spaces? Do you not even see the pilcrow to indicate the end of a paragraph?
The raised points to indicate individual space characters must be displayed using some character in the character set: this may be Unicode U+00B7 "Middle dot". Your seeing this relies on that character existing in whatever font you are using, of course. If you are using an obscure font, you may not see anything. For example, it does not appear in my Wingdings or Webdings fonts.
It may be old-fashioned but I like to see exactly where I am when typing or revising a document.
You can see where you are by the flashing insertion point - which may be a little difficult to spot if it coincides with a text boundary. (And I've a vague notion that it may be less visible than in some earlier versions of OpenOffice.) But the insertion point always shows, of course - without your needing to toggle on the display of non-printing characters.
I trust this helps. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
