Special marks in Edit mode
By default, Namo WebEditor displays various kinds of special “marks” in document windows that are in Edit mode. These marks, which are not part of a document and do not appear in a browser or in Preview mode, help to visually identify and locate various kinds of page elements or parts. The most common marks are listed in the table below.

You can enable or disable the display of Page Layout View, Paragraph Mark, Space Mark, Special Tag Mark in the Display section in the View menu. (Note: space marks are not shown by default.)
To hide or show special marks
- For Paragraph Marks, Space Marks, Special Tag Marks, go to the Display section of the View menu and click the item corresponding to the type of mark you want to hide or show.
- For other marks, use the Marks menu on your custom toolbar. If the Marks menu is not visible, add it to the toolbar by opening the Customize dialog box, going to the Commands tab, selecting View from the Categories list and then selecting Marks from the Commands list.
You can also toggle the display of paragraph marks, space marks, table gridlines, and special tag marks by clicking the appropriately-named buttons on the Standard Toolbar.
Special tag marks, with the exception of list begin marks, take up space in Edit mode. As a result, they can decrease the accuracy with which a document is rendered in Edit mode.
