This sounds like an MSWord question.

If that's true, then in MSWord 2003 menus:
Tools|Options|View Tab
and uncheck the formatting marks you don't want to see.

I selected show/hide from the tool bar to remove formatting, but the
paragraph mark remains and does not disappear like the space marks etc. Does
anyone know how to fix this.
