SYMPTOMS
Data copied from a Microsoft Word table will be placed in the wrong cell
when pasted into a Microsoft Graph data sheet.

following methods to display all of the nonprinting characters.
Method 1: Use the Options Dialog Box
- On the Tools menu, click Options, and click the View tab.
- Under Nonprinting Characters, click to select the All check box.
Method 2: Use a Shortcut Key Combination
To display or hide all the nonprinting characters, press CTRL+SHIFT+* on
the standard keyboard (do not press * on the numeric keypad).
