Default How can I eliminate pilcrow signs and dots between words?

All of a sudden I have a whole bunch of pilcrow signs (paragraph signs) all
over my documents. When I open a new document there is a ps there waiting
for me.
There is also a dot between each word.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Word, to no avail

Did you notice that there happens to be a button with a pilcrow (¶) on the
toolbar (or Home ribbon, if Word 2007)? Click it. Or, equivalently, press
Ctrl+Shift+8.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...PrintChars.htm for
information.

And next time something goes bump, ask us before you waste time uninstalling
and reinstalling. For Word, that exercise almost never solves any problems!
