How to Remove Paragraph Symbols in Word 2007 Doc
1. Press the following keys on your keyboard, holding them down simultaneously: 'Ctrl,' 'Shift' and '8.' Or, click the 'Home' tab on the Ribbon and and then click the 'Show/Hide' formatting button, which shows a pilcrow -- the same mark appearing in your document at the end of each paragraph. If this hides the paragraph symbols, then you're done. If the marks still show, then type the keyboard shortcut again or press the formatting button again, and then move to the next step.
2. Click the round Microsoft Office button, located in the top left corner; on the drop-down Word menu, click 'Word Options,' at the bottom. The Word Options dialog box will pop up.
3. Click the 'Display' tab on the Word Options dialog box, in the left column.
4. Click the square by 'Paragraph marks,' under the heading 'Always show these formatting marks on the screen.' After you click the square, the check mark in it will disappear.
5. Click the 'OK' button on the Word Options dialog box.
