Read weird markings by hannah @ 5/8/2010

My document has suddenly appeared with arrow signs, signs that look similar to music notes where I have a paragraph space and dots after each word.
I think it is because i accidently pressed shift+enter? not sure though.

How do i get rid of these markings!?

Answer from Richard Rost:

I think someone turned on the PARAGRAPH SYMBOLS. You're just seeing the non-printable characters that represent spaces (dots) and line breaks.

Since you didn't tell me what version of Word you have, I can't help you turn it off, but Google "microsoft word XXXX paragraph symbols" and replace XXXX with your version. You'll find instructions.
