How do I remove underline of text and hyphen in upper left corner?

After running my script (written in Inquisit 6) in Inquisit 7, the text was changed for my intro pages and there is now a hyphen in the upper left corner.

How do I fix this so that the text is not underlined and there is no hyphen in the upper left corner? Thanks in advance!

<defaults>
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 20pt, true)
/ screencolor = white
/ quitcommand = (Ctrl+'M')
</defaults>

#### INTRO PAGES ####

<instruct>
/ nextkey = ("p")
/ prevkey = ("q")
/ fontStyle = ("Arial", 32, 400, 0, 34)
</instruct>

It's not a hyphen. Your /fontStyle in instruct specifies underlined font, and what you think is a hyphen is underlined whitespace from the line break you introduced. (It's also there under Inquisit 6, and has nothing to do with Inquisit 7).

It goes away when you remove the line break.

Better yet, just specify non-underlined font and use HTML tags for formatting.

<instruct>
/ nextkey = ("p")
/ prevkey = ("q")
/ fontStyle = ("Arial", 32pt)
</instruct>
