Answer 1

Try using "WordPad". It is pretty good alternative is you are in such a dire strait! If you face the same problem, reinstall MS Word. It would take less than 5 min!

Answer 2

First, don’t worry.  None of the dots or ¶ characters will print.  

The dots, which replace blanks, certainly are a nuisance, but those strange ¶ symbols are really your friends. They show exactly where each paragraph ends. Since all paragraph formatting (tabs, indents, margins, line spacing, before and after paragraph spacing, ...) is attached to them, accidentally deleting one can cause mysterious reformatting problems. I've found it's nice to know where they are.

Now, the other characters that may also appear aren't as useful and can be safely turned off. Here's how (with Word versions prior to Word 2007):

1. Click the Tools->Options menu item.

2. Click the View tab.

3. Under Formatting Marks, select ONLY Paragraph Marks and deselect all others.

4. Click OK.

In Word 2007 (Vista), do this:

1. Click the Office Button.

2. Click the Word Options button.

3. On the left side of the dialog box, click Display.

4. Under Always Show These Formatting Marks On The Screen, put a check mark next to Paragraph Marks.

5. Make sure all the other entries in this section are unchecked.

6. Click OK.



That's it.

Now about the "nothing on the top"  I suspect you accidentally turned off the Itner-page display.  Simple to get it back:

1. Find the solid black line between the pages or at the top of the first page.  

2. Click it with the cursor.  (Double-click in Word 2007 (Vista).)

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

at the top left corner, it should say something like 'Web text format'

Change this to 'Normal'

Answer 4

I think your "show formatting marks" has been enabled.  When this is enabled, it will show everything you do including spaces, which explains why you are getting dots when you space.

You need to hide formatting marks.  To do this,

1. Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Word Options.

2. Click Display.

3. Under Always show these formatting marks on the screen, clear the check boxes for any formatting marks that you do not want to show in your documents at all times.
