What you are seeing are non-printing characters, which are very
helpful to see when you are formatting your document, especially when
copying and pasting.

However, if you insist on turning them off, you simply click on the
Show/Hide icon on your toolbar. That would be a pilcrow or paragraph
mark which looks like a backwards P.

I hope this was helpful to you.
