It seems like everyone is accidentally turning on paragraph marks lately. To turn them off (or on), press Ctrl+Shift+8. This works in all versions of Outlook and Word.
When paragraph marks are turned on spaces, tabs, and line breaks are shown as dots or arrows.
While it's much quicker to toggle the marks off and on using the keyboard, if you prefer to use a mouse, look for the paragraph icon on the Formatting toolbar or ribbon. When it's highlighted, marks are displayed.
When you use Word as your editor, you can also toggle the individual marks off and on by opening a new message, then going to Tools, Options, View tab.
