funny symbol on windows word

[Rachum]

Hi. on my windows word when I type a funny symbol, a bit like a backwards P wont go away, I think it's to do with paragraphing and formatting, and between each work a dot is appearing!! How do I stop this?? Pleaso oh please help, it's so frustrating!

Just look on the tool bar and there is a matching symbol - just click it or add more buttons if the symbol isnt on your toolbar

Go to Format > Reveal formatting.
This will open a new pane, on the right hand side of the screen. At the bottom of that pane, there's a box labelled 'Show all formatting marks'. There shouldn't be a tick in that box but it sounds as if you might find one there. Click to remove the tick. (If you find that there's no tick, try clicking to put it in and then clicking again, to remove it). Click the 'X', next to the words 'Reveal formatting', at the top of the pane, to close it.
