When you are showing all formatting, you'll see dots between words (for spaces), the pilcrow mark at the end of paragraphs, a 'left turn' arrow for line breaks, and arrows for tabs. When paragraph marks are turned on spaces, tabs, and line breaks are shown as dots or arrows. When it's highlighted, marks are displayed. While it's much quicker to toggle the marks off and on using the keyboard, if you prefer to use a mouse, look for the paragraph icon on the Formatting toolbar or ribbon. You can also disable (or enable) this from the Toolbar or Options dialog. This works in all versions of Outlook (and Word). The easiest way to disable this is using the keyboard: Ctrl + Shift + 8 will toggle the formatting marks off and on.
It's easy for many people to get into the 'Show all formatting' mode and difficult for many to figure out how to get out of it. It seems like everyone is accidentally turning on paragraph marks lately. Show Hidden Formatting Word For Mac Average ratng: 4,5/5 9287 votes
