Hi Dave,

The dots show spaces.

Menu > View > Hide Invisibles.

Changing Text in Pages OS Sonoma 14.6.1 So I don't know when things changed in Pages but - In the past when I highlighted a word as above, I would simply start typing the replacement word that I wanted. Now, as soon as I begin typing I get this confusing mess - I have no idea what this is and have no need for it. Is there a tweak somewhere that would prevent this dialog box from showing? Thanks.

Blank Space in Pages Hi, I have turned on "Show Invisibles" in Pages but the dot size is too small to be visible clearly. I want to increase the size of dot so that I can see blank/double spaces within the paragraph easily. Please enlighten me as how to increase the size of the dots.

The keyboard shortcut in Pages to toggle Show/Hide Invisibles is shift+cmd+i which is on that menu item that Yellowbox has provided.
