I am using Word 2000 and accidentally activated the formatting or whatever
whereby every hard return appears as the stylized "P" symbol, every tab is a
right-pointing arrow. It's visually distracting and I have no idea how to
remove it.

I've tried key combos of shift, alt, ctrl to undo, but nothing works. Please
help.

I am a student who's entering a new term and will be drafting many Word docs
over the next 16 weeks. ARGH!

If you look on the Standard Toolbar you should see an icon with the end of
paragraph symbol (a backwards P) on it, click this to turn off these marks.
Alternatively, click on Tools Options, click on the View section and remove
the tick from the All box in the Formatting Marks section.
