    Outlook adds strange character at start of every line, what is it


    For some reason, there is not a character at the end of every line in outlook, can't paste it here, so will add image.

    How can I get rid of this?

    There must be an Option to switch Typographic Characters on and off
    I don't use Outlook, I cannot guide how to do this.

    It's the paragraph mark...

    Turn formatting marks on or off

    Keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+*. (You must use the asterisk on the 8 key.). Make sure the email is opened.

    No, we weren't. My post preceded yours by an hour. I know this because I checked the thread twice. The second time your post appeared. There's also history of you doing this, thus my statement.

    Await the OP's response.
