Those strange ¶ symbols are called pilcrow signs or paragraph signs and they show the end of paragraphs. They’re useful to see when you’re formatting and editing e-books and don’t print at all, but could be distracting.
Fortunately, there’s an easy way to remove them.
- Click the top menu item Tools->Options
- Click View
- Look for ‘Formatting Marks’, and uncheck the option ‘All’
- Click OK
Or for newer versions…
- Click the top menu item ‘Review’
- Look for ‘Show Markup’ and click
- Look for ‘Formatting’ and uncheck
OR
- Click View
- Move down to Toolbars and choose Standard, for standard toolbar
- You should see a Pilcrow icon on the toolbar that you can click to either show or hide
Hope this helps
