But if you don’t want to see the formatting marks, simply toggle the paragraph button–seen in the middle of the ribbon above or as described in the video–to turn them off. If the toggle button didn’t work, you may try this method.
Hi, I used to know how to do this, but I forget!!! I like to type a word document without any paragraph symbols showing when I finish a paragraph and it has been like this forever.
Apparently I messed with 'something' such that there's a paragraph symbol in every word document I start. In trying to 'remove paragraph symbols' by following help, I somehow added 'arrows' now whenever I tab, they are visible. How can I return, step by step, to return it to its original format of not showing any tab or paragraph marks??? Thanks a lot.
View formatting symbols and layout in a Pages document Formatting symbols (called invisibles) like the ones shown below are added every time you press the Space bar, Tab, or Return, and when you add a column break, page break, or section break. By default, you can’t see them, but you can turn them on to see where formatting changes have been applied. You can hide them again when you don’t need to see them.
You can use Layout View to show the faint gray boxes that outline the different text areas of your document—including headers, footers, columns, text boxes, and the document body (the main area of text in the document). This view can help you troubleshoot layout problems.
