Unwanted symbols

dlcooper52 · #1 08-25-2012, 05:55 PM

Suddenly misc printing formatting symbols are appearing in my screen view of my document, such as backwards P, etc. Have tried but can't find a menu way back to the clean reading view I'm used to. Have searched Word Help and forum to no avail. It's probably simple but it's eluding me. Would be grateful for help.

Aha! The forum seems to have automatically sent me the answer to a similar post, even though I couldn't find it in Search.

And yes, it was so simple it should have bit me, right in the toolbar, the backwards P.
