Sounds like the shortcut for your excel file is pointing to the wrong subdirectory. Right click on the shortcut and click Properties. Then verify that your "Target" and "Start in" directories are correct.

Re-arranging your directory structure to be more logical, or changing the name of one of the directories in the Target path can cause this problem.

Symbols in Word that do not disappear when you toggle the Paragraph symbol button are actually in the document. This can happen if the document font is changed and the new font doesn't contain the characters that were in those locations.

Make a back-up copy of your document, then:

If the symbols are not needed, highlight one and use Ctrl-F to open the Find/Replace window. Click the replace tab and either:
a. enter a space in the "Replace" box if you need a space where the symbol was
or
b. leave the "Replace" box empty if you don't need a space where the symbol was.

Then click "Replace All" to remove the unwanted symbols.

If there's a specific character or symbol you want in place of the mystery symbol you can put it in the "Replace" box.

Be careful, "Replace All" will overwrite EVERY incident of the "Find" value. This can sometimes lead to loss of things you need. For instance, there's a joke going around about a preacher who used replace all to change the name of the deceased in a funeral service. The previous service had been for a woman named Mary, so when he replaced all "Mary" with "Esther" he ended up with, " . . . born of the Virgin Esther . . ." in several places.

You also may want to go to Tools->Options->General tab and ensure that the Ignore other applications setting is not checked. This has cleared this problem for us in the past.
