Hi - I don't know what I inadvertently clicked, but every Word 2007 document
I open has formatting symbols prominently displayed.

Here's a screenshot of the paragraph symbol next to the cursor on a blank
document.

When I open Word files that I previously created, they are plastered with
all kinds of similar symbols.

Question: I do I turn this feature off so that I don't see these symbols on
all of my Word documents?

Thanks

Joe

Click on the Show/Hide button (¶) in the Home tab of the Ribbon. It has an
orange background in your screen shot which shows that it is active.

Thanks Doug - I've been using Word since Word '97 and I've never had a use
for that particular function. Now I know what I inadvertantly clicked.
BTW - I still love the Word 2007 ribbon.
