 Mystery lines in Word - Ambo
I have a 62,000-word text, originally produced on a much older computer and saved in Word 97-2003 format. To make it compatible with a newer computer using Windows 7 I have re-saved it in Word. Now, several lines of small, dense black rectangular "studs" have added themselves randomly across various parts in the text and I can't find any way of getting rid of them.

I tried to copy an example here but it showed up only as the line before and the line after, with no "studs". Can anyone suggest how to delete them please?
