Well, the referenced article explains how to hide them and also some reasons
why it is often helpful to be able to see them.

Thanks for the official term. Yes, if I work with "formatting marks" or
"nonprinting characters" showing, it continues to have this behavior.

Bear,
What are "nonprinting characters"? I couldn't find any information on
this
in Word's help. Sometimes I have worked in Page Layout View and seen
that
when I click enter there is an enter arrow where I click enter. Is his
"printing characters"? If so, I work with nonprinting characters, that
is,
nothing is shown on the page except what I write.

Well, you've got me stumped. I thought maybe it was Enable Click and
Type,
or perhaps Overtype mode vs. Insert mode.
If you work with your nonprinting characters showing in Page Layout
view
does it exhibit that behavior?
