You are showing hidden symbols (paragraph and spaces etc.) and you need to switch this off. On the tool bar at the top you might see the backwards P to toggle, otherwise try the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift and 8 to do the same thing. Enjoy!

 

I actually have this set up to show all the time - I find it easier to format the page correctly with the option turned on. (The "extra" characters don't print).
