I have Office XP. In the My Documents\My Music folder I have about 10 files of lyrics of songs that I had downloaded from the Net. Today I downloaded the lyrics of another song and Copy and Pasted into a fresh file in the above folder. Suddenly music like symbols appeared before and end of every line. The same had happened to all my other files of lyrics. I can't get rid of those unwanted symbols. I do not want them. Anything I can do about it. TIA
Music symbols?
