These are just formatting characters that are normally hidden
Uncheck all the items in tools > options > view > formatting marks and you
can then toggle the dsiplay of formatting marks as required by clicking the
¶ button (or CTRL+*)

Did you first make the changes to Word options as instructed?
Did you hold the shift key whilst pressing CTRL+*
* is Shift 8!
