Default Strange problem with Word

Hi here! I got a strange problem going on with Word. I was working on a document, and for some reason I don't know, oddly now I get middle points instead of space and this strange letter nearly everywhere. Here's a screenshot to get a clear picture.





Any idea what's going on and how to change it back to normal?

Default Hidden characters

What you are seeing is the characters for space (the dot) and paragraph return (the backward P). You probably hit Ctrl+Shift+8 by mistake. It use press this combination again, these characters will disappear. Alternatively, go to Tools, Options, and on the View tab (I believe; I can only see Word 2007 at present), uncheck Show Hidden Characters.

Nope, just pass it on. That's how we all help one another--we all need help sometime.
