How to do Show Hide formatting marks in MS Word?

Show Hide formatting marks in MS Word

Sometimes annoying symbols appear in MS Word Document, which you can show/ hide using this option


It sounds as though you have accidentally switched on the option to display non-printing characters, which includes dots between words and the paragraph break symbol, which looks a bit like a filled-in backwards ‘p’. Do not feel bad about it, it is really easy to do, without realizing, and usually happens when entering asterisk symbol. All is explained when you know (and now will never forget) that the keyboard shortcut for showing, and hiding the symbols is Ctrl + Shift + 8.
