Default Get rid of formatting symbols - How?

Click on the Show/Hide button (¶) in the Home tab of the Ribbon. It has an
orange background in your screen shot which shows that it is active.

Hi - I don't know what I inadvertently clicked, but every Word 2007
document I open has formatting symbols prominently displayed.

Here's a screenshot of the paragraph symbol next to the cursor on a blank
document.

When I open Word files that I previously created, they are plastered with
all kinds of similar symbols.

Question: I do I turn this feature off so that I don't see these symbols
on all of my Word documents?

Thanks

Joe
