Ever since migrating to Office 365, Word and Outlook have been pestering me with tiny dots under the words in large parts of the texts. Not all texts, but some. They are not always there, but suddenly Word or Outlook decides to splash dots all over the place without any explanation.
This is endlessly annoying. It clutters the view and is distracting.
Others have suggested it is related to hidden text, but there is no hidden text in these documents.
I have found that it may be related to so-called "intelligent services" and "smart lookup".
Well there is nothing intelligent in forcing users to watch black dots everywhere if they are not interested in such services.
Here is an example of what it looks like.
How do I get rid of such dots once and for all?
