Default How do I remove paragraph, space, and indent symbols in a .docx?

I accidentally hit a series of keys on my computer and my Word document
started to show symbol markup. Every pressing of the Enter key yielded a
Paragraph symbol; each indentation displayed an arrow; and each space
displayed a small dot. This link will direct you to a screenshot.

What did I press and how do I get rid of this?

Problem solved--toggle "Show/Hide Paragraph Marks", the Paragraph symbol, in
the Paragraph box on the Home ribbon.

Glad you were able to resolve the problem yourself. If you'd like to learn
more about these non-printing characters and why seeing them can (sometimes)
be helpful, see the article on the MVP site:
