Word: Hide paragraph characters

You can optionally hide the paragraph characters in Word. Below we show you how to get rid of the bookmarks. In our small example we assume Microsoft Word 2010, but the procedure is similar for the other versions of Word.

Hide or show the paragraph characters in a Word document.

1. Select the "Start" tab.
2. Then click on the "paragraph mark" in the quick start bar (see picture).
