Sometimes you may struggle with formatting and you do not understand why some text is deleted or a page break is entered in the wrong place. In order to help to rectify the problem you may want to display Formatting Marks. Select one of the following:
On the Home tab, in the Paragraph section, click Show/Hide
- Or from keyboard press a combination of <Ctrl>, <Shift>, <8> keys simultaneously.
This will display tab characters, spaces, paragraph marks, hidden text etc. Clicking again on the Show/Hide icon or a combination of keys will hide the characters.
This is so useful – it’s one of those things that gets me every time!
