I pressed the show/hide it hid the paragraph mark, but between each word I
type a * appears. How can I remove it so it will not appear?

Many Word users find visible spaces useful, since it lets you know when
there are extras... it's a helpful diagnostic. It's especially useful to be
able to instantly seen whether something is a space versus a tab.

However, if you want to hide them... in Word 2003, Tools - Options - View,
remove the check next to Spaces under Formatting marks. Anything not checked
in that section will now toggle on/off when you click the Show/Hide tool.

In Word 2007, those settings are found in Office button - Word Options -
Display tab.
