How to Delete Hidden Characters in Word

1. Switch to Draft view (Normal mode) by clicking on the icon that looks like a page with lines.
2. From the Home tab, click on the 'Show/Hide' icon. You can also press the 'Ctrl' + 'Shift' + '8' keys on your keyboard to show the characters.
3. Scroll to the page with the unusual formatting and highlight the now visible formatting characters.
4. Delete the highlighted characters. Deleting the extra characters will remove the stray formatting.
