view non printing formatting in word 2010

[quilter]

HELP...I helped a friend make her resume on a new Mac with word
student/home 2010. She did all the work and I just prettied it up.
(must say I am a PC person...) Somewhere in there I noticied a Snap
to Grid option and I think I turned it on. Thereafter a grid showed
in the background, somewhat like Adobe photoshop or Illustraqtor.

However, I cannot find how to turn it off, and I am concerned that it
will print. Also in previous versions (PC) of word I have been able to
turn off and on the formatting marks. This is very helpful when a non
word processor types up her resume and uses the space bar. Is there
some way I can see the formatting?

any help appreciated!

No, you didn't. Word 2010 is a PC program, the Mac ones are 2008 and
2011. I'm not just being pedantic, I'm not familiar enough with Word to
know if your questions have different answers in the two versions.

I doubt if it will print, but why not just print a page to check.
Anyway, in Word 2011 it is in the Layout tab of the Ribbon.

In Word 2011's Standard toolbar (which normally sits above the Ribbon)
there's a paragraph mark. Clicking on that will turn visibility of
formatting characters on and off.
