I wonder if you mean the Non-Printing Characters. Click the paragraph-
symbol button on the toolbar or ribbon.

Though I don't see how anyone can work in Word without at least the
paragraph marks visible.

To the left of the to the % view on the tool bar, click the paragraph mark
symbol ¶ to toggle off.

Thank you for your observation but I work very well without it. These marks
just confuse me.

Thanks anyway.

Then I hope you won't be back in a few days wondering why you get
blank sheets of paper getting printed at the end of your document! The
answer is just about always that there are lots of empty paragraphs
after the end of the text.

I've noticed that - why does it happen if we haven't entered them?

Most likely you have. You get to the end of the document and press Enter.
Then you see something earlier that you need to change, so you click up
there with the mouse. After making the change, since you can't see the empty
paragraph that you have already created, you go to the end of the last
paragraph and press Enter again. Several occurrences of this behavior can
give you quite a few empty paragraphs.

Some people don't seem to understand how to use Styles or Paragraph
Formatting, so if they want space between paragraphs, they type an
extra paragraph. Then if they go back and change something, or move
things around, they don't collect those extra spacing-paragraphs,
because they turned off their display, so they get left behind, so
they type more of them to get more spacing ...

I can see how that could happen but I rarely change anything. Why try to
improve on perfection?

Thanks, I'll look out for that.
