All my word documents are showing dots for spaces and arrows for tabs and P
for new line. How do I change this? It doesn't affect printing, but it does
affect creating a web page...and it's annoying.

You should be asking this in a newsgroup related to Word. This one's for
questions about Access, the database product that's part of Office
Professional.

What you've done, though, is turn on the Formatting marks in Word (something
I always do). I find it helps significantly when trying to see how the
formatting is working. However, if you want to turn it off, look at the View
tab under Tools | Options.
