On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the View tab, clear all the check boxes in the Formatting marks area.

Hi Hope,

I actually LIKE to work with paragraph marks, spaces, and tabs showing, so
that is how I knew where to look.

HTH stands for "Hope this helps"

Same here, never ever work without them showing (ditto with text
boundaries)!

Hope,

I believe most Word users, after while, appreciate seeing those marks in
their document, while creating, as a way to control their "white space
formatting."
Ideally, you don't control white space with multiple tabs and/or spaces in a
row or blank paragraphs in a row. Instead you, for example, should use the
special left tab, ...'your text', special center tab, ...'your text', or
special right tabs. Or format a "paragraph of text" with space before and/or
space after by using the menu Format|Paragraph...
There is a toolbar button that looks like a black filled-in Paragraph Mark
that can be used to (toggle) show/hide those marks you find disconcerting.
Also you can use the Print Preview button to see how your document will look
when printed and those marks won't be seen there.
