How to Remove the Paragraph Symbol in Outlook

Formatting marks like the paragraph symbol can be useful when checking an email layout for mistakes or design errors, but they can also be annoying when all you want to do is write an Outlook email and send it. Hiding formatting marks doesn’t undo the formatting, but it makes them invisible so you can focus on the text without being distracted by the various symbols.
