In Word 2003

View%26gt;Tool Bars%26gt; Standard

then hit the bacward looking "P"

This will allow you to toggle back and forth to show/hide the "paragraph mark"

Good Luck
The dots are certainly a nuisance, but those strange 露 symbols are really your friends. They show exactly where each paragraph ends. Since all paragraph formatting (tabs, indents, margins, line spacing, before and after paragraph spacing, ...) is attached to them, accidentally deleting one can cause mysterious reformatting problems. I've found it's nice to know where they are.

Now, the other characters that may also appear aren't as useful and can be safely turned off. Here's how (with Word XP (2002) and the adjacent versions):

1.Click the Tools-%26gt;Options menu item.

2.Click the View tab.

3.Under Formatting Marks, select ONLY Paragraph Marks and deselect all others.

4.Click OK.

That's it.
