Although you are using Publisher, Word MVP Suzanne Barnhill has a great
article about them and why they can be useful.

This is hard to explain but on the copy of the Pub document I am working
on-
my text is littered with what seems to be formatting markings, such as a
dot
when I hit the "space bar" and the indentation mark when I hit "enter".
These
marks do not show up in Print Preview, so it is not a big deal in the end,
but they are seriously disrupting my work. Does anyone know what I am
complaining about and can help?

Thank you
