Question

[William and Jane Sadowski <bi...@live.com>]

I'm new to your Open Office Software and have a question about the word processor
Q: Can you tell me how to get rid of the gray shading between the words when I’m working in the word processing program?
My email is: bill-jane74 @live.com.
Other than this issue I’m very happy with your software
Thank You
Bill Sadowski

Bill,
The "non printing characters" display may be enabled.
Open the View menu and look for a check mark next to "Nonprinting
Characters". If there is a mark, click the item to unselect it. That should
remove the shading between words.

If that's not it, follow the menu path Tools > Options. On the left side of
the window that opens select the branch "OpenOffice Writer/Web" and within
that, "Formatting Aids". In the "Display of" section make certain "Spaces"
is not checked.

If you are Pasting data from an external source, you avoid such gray spaces by using /Edit /Paste Special and selecting "Unformatted text" from the popup menu.

Re: Question

What you are seeing is non-breaking spaces, possibly as a result of 
copying text from another source (likely your web browser). Non-breaking 
spaces are not broken at the end of a line and are entered from the 
keyboard with the Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar shortcut keys.

As these may mess with your formatting, you may wish to do a 
Find/Replace to get rid of them; to do so you will need to copy the 
non-breaking space into the F/R dialog.
