Default unwanted formatting


HELP!!! In the middle of writing an important Word Doc, pressed some odd combination of buttons and suddenly have all these formatting symbols at the start and end of ever line. Dot, squiggles, carriage returns etc. I've gone through everything in View and crossed off anything I think might be relevant but still they sit there ! Need to complete this today so please someone help!! Thank you!!!

They are non-printing formatting marks and it can be useful to see them. Click the ¶ button on the Home tab of the ribbon.
