Uber urgent completely noobile MS word solution required :(

[benneh]

My dearest mother is completing an on-line exam type affair for a language course (she's currently in Spain) and has called me in a state of panic because her word documents seem to have been taken over by the little icon shown below:

Apparently she "might" have pressed the CTRL key and "something else"... So I'm hoping it's just a case of reversing the process?.

Have fun, help a noob to help his mother .

That's just the pilcrow sign; it shows you where your line breaks are. They aren't printed or even saved with the document, so no need to worry.

I did explain this to her, but she's half-way to freaking out. It's actually impossible to explain anything computer related to her. The print screen effort took 25 mins . Basically she wants rid of the 'pilcrow' sign. Google is my friend, I now have a name.. Pilcrow. TYTY

Excellent and excellent, and thank-you all most kindly. You wouldn't believe the ear ache . It took 5 mins for her to press Ctrl+Shift+8.. Good old mums .
