Default How do I turn off the formatting marks permanently on a document?

The easiest way to turn formatting characters off is to click the pilcrow (ΒΆ)
on the standard toolbar. I suspect he setting was somehow changed in your
normal.dot template. To fix this, open Normal.dot. You will probably see a
paragraph symbol (pilcrow) in the text. Click the pilcrow on the toolbar to
hide the formatting marks. Add, then delete a space, and save and close the
template.

In some documents I shared with other users, the formatting marks have been
turned on (i.e., dots for spaces, tab indicators). Each time I go into
Tools-Options to remove the check marks beside "tab characters" and "spaces"
and save the file. The next time I open the file, they reappear.

How can I get these formatting marks to stop reappearing when I open the
file?
