Word 2008; How to hide blue format codes on screen

[bertzpoet]

Friends,

I somehow clicked something and now ALL my Word documents show blue codes for paragraphing, tabs, page breaks, etc. I cannot find how to get rid of them. They don't print out, thank goodness. Office 2010 has an easy way, but not 2008 that I can see. Please help.
