Since my office switched to this setup, Word docs --- both some from
2005 that I created under Word 2000, before we got XP, and hadn't
looked at since, and some new documents created by other people on our
system, show up with an odd character.
It's apparently on my PC somehow -- I see it and it prints, but others
using the same document on other computer don't see it and it doesn't
print.
It looks like <sp>
It's a single thing, hilights as a unit.
It can't be deleted by hilighting and hitting delete or backspace
It can be copied and pasted
It shows up somehow attached to images in headers
It shows up sporadically in the middle of runs of carriage returns
used by, well, users, to format pages
It shows up once in a while along with the last paragraph mark in a
document
If it's in the middle of a run of carriage returns and I select
several on either side of the weird <sp> thing, it will cut out.
If it's attached to an image, it can't be cut without losing the
image.
Tech support has been puzzling over it for weeks now.
Looks to me like it's some bit of Microsoft's Word 2007 file format
that snuck in somewhere.
Just a minor annoyance, but I figured I couldn't be the only person
favored with it.

I'll go read up. I see it's happened before.
(IS there a way to force the search to take the angle brackets and
only find the threads discussing <sp> here?)

This one has a workaround, though nobody has an answer about _why_ the
thing shows up, near as I can tell:
My tech support guy just told me, they're still mystified where I
work.
I haven't found anything else on it anywhere, just the several threads
here mentioning it including mine.

I have never managed to reproduce the problem myself. If you can
consistently do so, I would be very interested to know how.
