How do I prevent the paragraph mark from showing up?

[Jackson]

I have Word 2003. When viewing a document emailed to me, paragraph marks and
other puncuating marks show on the screen, but do not show when printed.
How do I stop these from appearing?

Hi!

You should find the backward P button on your toolbar. (¶)

Other option is to go under Tools -> Options -> View -> Formatting Marks
checkbox

You'll be able to work better with Word if you turn on the viewing of
paragraph marks (though perhaps not any of the other selections; I
also always have tabs visible) in the View > Options menu, because you
can get weird (and unpredictable-looking) results if you add space by
pressing Enter and eventually you don't remember there are extra
paragraphs. You should add space with the Space Before / After options
in Format > Paragraph.
