Hello All:

I hit some key combo that made VS 2005 format every text file with .
characters for spaces and arrows for tabs, etc. Sort of like the paragraph
format option for Word. I won't go into why this is the stupidest thing for
a developer IDE. Can someone simply tell me how to turn this off!!

Try going into keyboard shortcuts, and search for 'whitespace'. you
should see a list of commands that affect white space. and you'll see
the keyboard shortcut to invoke them. one of them should be your
culprit.
