Same formating marks problem, only with Outlook 2007
by bhamer54 - 11/6/07 5:47 PM In reply to: Removing the paragraph symbol in outlook by rajkumar_pI have the same problem as the original poster, only I think they had a different version of Outlook than I do.
Does anyone know how to turn off the formating marks on Outlook 2007? "Click on Tools > Options > View > Formatting Marks. Uncheck paragraph option." I tried to do that, but could not figure out how... I think that they changed the setting location for this in the 2007 version...
I looked in Word 2007 as someone sugested above, but Word is not experiencing this problem. So changing the settings on Word would only make things worse I imagine...
Thanks for any help in advance!
Outlook 2007
by anthonyrdrgz - 11/15/07 12:43 PM In reply to: Same formating marks problem, only with Outlook 2007 by bhamer54For Outlook 2007, open a new message and hit the Format Text tab. If you are in the "To:" field all the options for Formatting are greyed out. Click into the body of your message and this will unlock your options. In the paragraph section you'll see the paragraph symbol highlighted, simply click it once to turn it off.
Turning Off Paragraph Markings
by cgeier - 1/28/08 10:37 AM In reply to: Outlook 2007 by anthonyrdrgzI just did this to myself as well, you can also turn this off by first clicking in the message window and then hitting Ctrl+Shift+8. I had to do a search for that answer.
How can I submit a complaint to Microsoft Outlook for this
by prseitz - 4/12/08 9:10 AM In reply to: Turning Off Paragraph Markings by cgeierThis has to be the dumbest functionality I've ever see. I also hit some unknown combination of keys while typing a message and got this idiotic paragraph markings. The complaint I'd like to submit would be on these points:
1) The method of turning on the paragraph markings has got to be better designed, accidentally hitting a secret combination of keys that are typically used in typing a message is simply not acceptable.
2) Relying on online forums to solve or learn how to turn off paragraph markings is just simple sloppy programming.
3) My suggestion, if 1) is not better designed or understood, then when paragraph markings are shown for whatever reason, a small pop window should display with easy instructions of how to turn it off.
This would be sensible, having this massively different format suddenly appear is extremely distressing when coupled with a very important business or personal email composition - which is typically when these little accidental key combinations are struck.

I like them. It's one of the first things I check in a new Office install. It helps me to make the lay-out as I want it.

Different Fix
by tyoung33 - 6/2/09 10:34 AM In reply to: Same formating marks problem, only with Outlook 2007 by bhamer54The shortcut key I found for this was SHIFT + CTRL + * (asterisk must not be from the number keypad). Worked for me! You have to do it in the view you are looking at though. It can be set differently from received mail vs. mail you are composing.
SHIFT + CONTROL + * WORKS!!

How do I get rid of the paragraph symbol in Outlook
by Ccronyn - 9/17/09 7:58 AM In reply to: How do I get rid of the paragraph symbol in Outlook? by jimsailI have somehow hit an incorrect key and now at the end of each line I see a paragraph symbol.

Two questions:
1. What version of Outlook (95,97, 2000, 2002=XP, 2003, 2007) or even a Mac-version (that have different years, 2004 and 2008 being the most recent ones)
2. If any version older than 2007 (not sure of Mac, however) do you have set MS Word as the email editor, or do you use the native Outlook editor?
