You have turned on Word's hidden formatting characters. Press the ¶ button
or CTRL+SHIFT+8 to toggle the display.
If that doesn't work, it is possible that Word has corrupted its data key
where the formatting setting preferences are stored. Check Tools > Options >
View > Formatting marks and ensure that all the boxes are unchecked.
If the setting changes back then delete the Word data key in the registry
and allow Word to build a new one. Even this may not totally fix the issue
as Word 2003 particularly had a bad habit of randomly changing settings
stored in the data key. If the problem persists - see the automacros at the
end of
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm and insert the following
code segment as a permanent fix
With ActiveWindow.View
.ShowTabs = False
.ShowSpaces = False
.ShowParagraphs = False
.ShowHyphens = False
.ShowHiddenText = False
.ShowAll = False
End With
