Thanks Hossam. worked !

It worked, you are the best <3 <3 <3

Thanks man,
It's easy and done.
I'm posting this with screenshots for easy understanding

Well, fourth time is not a charm. Went back in. None of the options for unchecking formatting appears anymore. I am seeing the show/hide feature. This is maddening!!

This is my third comment, so hopefully this works this time. Go Options, Mail, change format to rich text, then select Editor Options. In the box that states, "Always show these formatting marks on screen", make sure that "Show All Formatting Marks" is unchecked. I hope this works. The formatting marks showed up for me after I changed my signature. It is like everything went haywire!

I got as far as "Editor Options." There is no "Display," to click on in the left section . I read through whatever showed up on the screen. Nothing I looked through what was applicable to what I needed! Also, extendoffice.com needs to remove information boxes to the right that gets in the way of reading instructions. G, f, Tweet, Print and + are in the way on the left side of the page unless we want to continue to use the scroll up and down arrow to the right which takes us away from focusing on what we are reading. Sooo, I guess, even if I was able to get to the rest of their instructions, I would have been stuck in the same place the both of you complained about. Monica, Alain, are we stupid, or are the instructions not accurate!

Simultaneously click Control, Shift and  the * 
I did it while I was composing a message and it fixed it. Easiest way!

I have the same issue. And no matter what I do, I unchecked all boxes but the Pilcrow characters, every time I start a new email or reply. I can turn it off for each session, but who ever created this problem where it wont turn off. I want to kill the person who made this problem.

This solution worked for me in Outlook 2010:


compose new email => format text => paragraph => asian typography => options => display tab => uncheck all boxes


Hope it helps.

Thank you Stephen, you are my saviour.

This procedure works with "Arabic Typesetting" too

(In my Outlook 2010 installation, not exist the "asian typography")
