Functions of Show or Hide Button in MS Word

Hi,

The Show/Hide button is very important in MS Word. It helps you to observe the following:

1. Spaces between the words, that is how many spaces are there between the words.

2. It shows the paragraph marks i.e. indenting of a paragraph in the text.

3. If there is any hidden text, it also shows that.

4. If you apply Tab button in the text it will help you to know.

5. It also shows object anchors.

You get more idea when you click on it. It shows all. Next click will hide them.

I hope you understand it.

Thanks

Functions of Show or Hide Button in MS Word

Hi, Fred

In Microsoft Office, if you activate the Sow/Hide button, it will display ‘formatting marks’. These characters are shown on the window to help the user to adjust the ‘white space’ for your document. Also, the end of a particular paragraph is indicated by a particular symbol. A blank space will be indicated with a small dot. In short, it reveals hidden formatting marks which are very useful for the users.

Thanks and regards,

Skarbos Jay.

Hello Fred,

This button usually used for better format of a written document. Suppose you are going to write a story using MS Office and you are thinking of a format for that document. Now you would like to have the proper documentation of that. This may help you on that. If you change anything by mistake and than just for checking that you can use it. It usually shows the break in the paragraphs. It will show the button sign at the end of every paragraph also will show the arrow sign in listing formats.

Thank you,

 Riley Weaver.
