I'm fascinated by the number of people who don't associate the ¶ symbol on
the document (which is a paragraph mark) with the ¶ button on the toolbar.
Click that button, which turns the marks on and off. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm to find out what
all the marks are for.

But then don't come back complaining that Word keeps printing an extra
page at the end of your document -- by far the most common reason for
that is that a bunch of empty paragraphs have collected at the end of
the document, spilling over onto a new page.
It makes sense always to have Paragraph Marks and Tabs showing (you
turn each category on/off in Options, which is in different places in
different versions).
I disagree. Turn them on from time to time as required, but editing
or reading with them turned on is a pain. It would be nice if there
was an option to change their colour so they could be change to
something less obtrusive - say to a pale pink or blue (as in WordPro)
- but there isn't.

In Mac versions they are in fact grey. I agree this would probably be an
improvement (but perhaps even more confusing to users?).

If they're always on, situations where it would be "required" to do so
wouldn't arise.
It's often _very_ important to know whether your indent is a true
paragraph indent or a tab.
A 50% color would indeed be an improvement.
