List of Formatting Symbols in Microsoft Word
Sometimes I see special symbols are showing up at the end of each paragraph in my Microsoft Word document. What are they?

If you see special symbols showing up at the end of each paragraph,
they are called formatting symbols (also called formatting marks).
Formatting symbols are hidden by default.
You can display them by pressing Ctrl-* or clicking the formatting symbol icon in the "Paragraph" group of the Home tab. Displaying formatting symbols helps you to understand how each part is being formatted.
