Weird symbols in Microsoft Word

How do I get rid of the weird symbols in my Microsoft Word text? (see attachment)
I must write an essay with this software, but the symbols are really annoying. I can't delete them.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Click this button to make the symbols go away.

Also, the symbols make no difference...it won't print with them.

Oh, I see. So simple
Thanks for the help!

There's nowhere I can't reach.
