Default Formatting Marks

I know how to show/hide the nonprinting formatting marks but I am surprised
that the Show/Hide All does not seem to override the individual settings
(e.g., spaces). Is this a bug in the system?

Default Formatting Marks

I'm running Office 2003 and when I turn off Show/Hide I don't see any
non-printing characters at all (not even spaces).

This is by design. The Show/Hide ¶ button does not toggle between All and
None; it toggles between All and any specific ones you have checked.

You will if you check the spaces box in tools options view. It is the
settings in tools options view that override the show/hide and not the
other way round.
