Paragraph marks show up in Outlook or Word when typing

If you start seeing paragraph marks show up when you're typing a new email in Outlook, or a new document in Word, you're not the only one that has happened to. I get that question now and then and it's simple to toggle back and forth. It's different for Outlook and Word though, so I'll give you directions for both.

For Outlook 2003:

On the Standard toolbar, click on the  button. If the Standard toolbar isn't displayed, go to View->Toolbars, then select Standard

You can also consult the Office Help article.

For Word 2003:

Click on Tools->Options, then under the General tab look for the Formatting section. Uncheck the box labeled Paragraph Marks and then click OK
