I still suspect the box characters represented spaces (as is the case in some fonts). I'd be curious to see what the "option on the top of the screen far right" was.
Do you see this even if you don't have nonprinting characters displayed?
I just figured it out. It was only in the display on the screen, not in printing or copying and pasting to notepad. There was a display setting that I turned off. Voila it works fine now!
These weird characters are now happening on all my Word Docs, not just on HTML web pages - It must be some setting in Word that I need to turn off. Should I uninstall and reinstall Word??
