[Solved] Annoying grey spots between words

Post by Legendarion »

When I copy texts from a site and paste it on Writer I get small grey spots between words which is annoying to delete manually every time.
Is there any function to avoid that?

I'm not quite sure if I understood the explanation/procedure from the other thread.

Toggling /View /Field shadings should turn off that non-printing display. For new insertions, use /Edit /Paste Special, select "unformatted text" from the popup; you will have to re-format to your style.
