RDF printing dots in output

Hi,

We have an RDF which we are using for printing the checks and when we are printing the check we see some special charecters '.' being printed.

How do I reomve these charecters and just print the empty space. we want the space but not the dots.

Sample output

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Check number date  Amount          3,000.00
       .
       .
       .
       .
       .
       .
       .
       .
       .
       .
       .
                                                                       3,000.00

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,

Shabana.
