How do I get rid of the dot that appears between the words?

[Maria]

I have these dots appearing in between spaces as I type on word and it is
really frustrating. Please answer my question and help me. Thank you!

If I understand your question correctly, the dots indicate the number of
spaces. You can choose to see them, or not see them at any time by clicking
the paragraph mark...the backwards looking "P" at the top of page.
