I copied the text from an email message and pasted it into a new text frame in IDCS4. With "Show Invisibles" selected, I could see that every wordspace was marked by an LBF, meaning "little blue 5." I looked at the long header of the message and, sure enough, the message began life as a Microsoft MIMEOle v. 6.

All right, I'll just search for the LBF and replace it with an actual space. Ah, how about that? I CAN'T paste it into the Find box. But of course, it is yet another incomprehensible booger I inherited from a Microsoft workflow. GRRRR

So, my question to this crowd is, "WTF is an LBF and how can I get rid of them without manually changing each and every little one?"
