How To Get Rid Of Formatting Paragraph Symbol Marks In Microsoft Outlook

If you have formatting marks on your screen and can’t figure out why they are there, how they got there, or how to get rid of them,
Click Format Text, and you’ll see the formatting icon. Uncheck it.

Click Show/Hide

You can also do a keyboard shortcut of CTRL + SHIFT + *. (use the asterisk on the keyboard, not the one on the number pad)

There is another mark similar to the paragraph mark that I can't get rid of. The paragraph button you show is not selected. However the one next to it that says left to right text direction is constantly high lighted and I can't turn off. Any ideas??
