MS Word formating symbols show in all documenents....

[ToddRoyer]

I know it's a fairly easy process, but I can't find the way to turn off the formating symbols in word. Can anybody tell me how to do this. Every new file I open already has a Paragraph symbol in the upper left hand corner and then as I write a document all the spaces and all other formating symbols show. Thanks for your help.

It's in Tools menu - Options - View - Formatting Marks.
