Summary:

Double less-than symbols “<<” (also known as “chevrons” or “arrows”) appearing in the selection bar in Word versions 1.x indicate that the text has been formatted as a running head (the selection bar is the white area to the left of text on the screen).

To remove this formatting, perform the following steps:


 * 1) Insert the cursor in the middle of the running-head text.
 * 2) From the Document menu, choose the Running Head command. A dialog box will appear that has three check boxes titled Odd Pages, Even Pages, and First Page.
 * 3) Clear the check mark from each of these boxes, then click OK. The less-than symbols should disappear from the screen.
