Put yet another way, it will persist as long as you don't disable it in the ribbon (by clicking on the button or pressing Ctrl+*). In other words, although it appears as a "persistent" setting, clicking the show/hide button in the Word 2010 ribbon will disable that option, which will not re-appear enabled when you open a new, or another, Microsoft Word document.
The last checkbox, " Show all formatting marks", is a bit confusing - so let's clarify what it does: checking it is akin to clicking on the Show/hide button when you are back in Microsoft Word.To always show one or more formatting marks regardless of this button, check each item: Tab characters, Spaces, Paragraph marks, Hidden text, Optional hyphens, and Object anchors. By default, all symbols are unchecked, which means that they're not displayed on screen unless you click on the "Show/hide" button described earlier.Tip: ensure that you currently have a document opened in Word 2010, otherwise these checkboxes will appear disabled (grayed out). The second section of settings, labeled " Always show these formatting marks on the screen", lists all the symbols you can show in your document.Then, select the " Display" tab on the left hand side. Showing and hiding these symbols as needed may quickly become tedious, which is why you can configure Word to show some of them at all times: click on the " File" menu / button in the top left corner of the window, and choose " Options".
You may not always want to show all these (potentially distracting) symbols on screen, so Word 2010 offers an option to always show only some of them, as explained below: Always show (some) formatting symbols (In other words, press the Ctrl key, Shift key, and the number 8 simultaneously.) Tip: if you often find yourself hiding and showing paragraph symbols and other formatting marks as you write your papers, Word 2010 offers a convenient keyboard shortcut press the Ctrl+* keystroke to toggle on/off. If the button shows that it is turned on, but nothing happens (assuming that your document contains some text), please see the next section - it probably just means that some marks have been disabled! Under the " Paragraph" tab grouping, you'll see a button with the paragraph sign on it, as shown below click on it:Īs soon as you do, Word 2010 will "highlight" the button's background to indicate that the feature is currently enabled, and you'll see formatting marks and paragraph symbols throughout your document. To show these symbols in your document, look at the ribbon ("toolbar") at the top of the Microsoft Word window, and make sure that the " Home" tab is selected.
