Im getting weird symbols in microsoft word how can i remove them?

The ¶ symbol shows exactly where the end of each paragraph is, which can be very useful. All paragraph formatting (indentation, margins, text justification) is attached to it, so accidentally deleting one can cause some mysterious formatting changes.

In the MS Word document,
1. Click the Tools->Options menu item.
2. Click the View tab.
3. Under Formatting Marks, uncheck the option All.
4. Click OK.

If you’re using a MAC, hold “command” and hit 8. This is just for Mac computers, just in case someone is having the same problem.

I am having an issue in Microsoft word for mac version 2008. Seems every time I use a quotation mark I get a underline. I have to press the space bar twice to get rid of it.
Any ideas out there?

david | April 29, 2013 at 8:13 pm
Thanks so much!!!! I was going crazy trying to figure this out.
On Word 2010 you just have to click on FILE, then OPTIONS, then DISPLAY, then uncheck “Show all formatting marks”.

Hi David, I am dealing with this issue for the first time with Microsoft 365. I knew how to remove the “Show All Characters” in the older versions of Word. Thanks so much for figuring out the answer and putting it up in an easy-to-follow way.
