Although I suspect that Stefan has nailed it, note that you can reset
various settings to their defaults as follows:
* Reapply the default font formatting of selected text by pressing
Ctrl+Spacebar.
* Reapply the default paragraph formatting of selected text with Ctrl+Q.
* Apply Normal style with Ctrl+Shift+N.
* Reset the Normal.dot global template to its default state by renaming it
(see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...cNotBlank.htm).
* Reset the Options settings to the their defaults by editing the Registry
(see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...gMenusEtc.htm).

A description of what you clicked and how your document looks would
make it a lot easier to help, but my first guess would be that the
following article could be relevant:
What do all those funny marks, like the dots between the words in my
document, and the square bullets in the left margin, mean?

So I clicked on something that is addin all kinds of crap when I
type. Why
not give us that ability to return all of the word settings to
normal can get
rid of any strange functions that we didn't mean to put there.
You know for people that just want to write a letter, but don't want
to
spend a bunch of time becoming a computer geek.
