Illustrator 10 - Text query

[Liann...@adobeforums.com]

I do not use Illustrator that often these days but I am NOW starting to use it with my Graphtec cutting machine to cut names out of flex to then heat press onto fabrics. My query is, when I am using the type tool, after clicking onto the page a symbol appears like an '8' on its side which gets in the way when I am moving single letters around to create a design. It is probably something simple but is there a way to switch off this feature?

Lianne,

Untick Show hidden characters in the Type dropdown list.

Thanks so much Jacob - thought it would be something simple like unticking a box! Thanks for taking the time to answer my query.

You are welcome, Lianne.
