While typing in a word document I hit the control and shift keys I think by mistake. I now have little dots in between each word and a strange symbol that looks a little like a musical note spread about sporadically. I can't remove this. It shows up on all of my documents now. Apparently I changed formatting maybe.



Can anyone tell me what I did and how to remove this?

Thank you in advance, Dave

Ctrl+* (Ctrl+Shift+8)
Showing non-printing formatting marks in Microsoft Word
These marks can be very useful in helping you figure out why your document is doing what it is doing.

Follow these steps for Word 2013:

1. Go on File tab.
2. Now click on Display.
3. Now you will see the Always show these formatting marks on the screen section.
4. In this formatting marks section uncheck all those symbols that you want to remove from your document or you can uncheck all.

Between 1 & 2 above - Click on Options.
Ctrl-Shift-8 toggles the check in "Show all."

Sorry, i forgot to mention this step.
Thanks for correcting me Charles.
