Getting rid of document notations?

J

Hi. I was using the speech/dictation tool and, not quite out of the blue,
the document notations appeared in the text: dots for spaces, arrows for
tabs, etc. I've tried to get rid of them, return to a normal print view, but
can't seem to get back to regular typing.

Can anybody help? Thanks in advance.

It doesn't have anything to do with the dictation tool. You're showing
nonprinting characters
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm) because you clicked
the ¶ button on the toolbar or pressed Ctrl+Shift+8. Click the button again to
turn them off.
