Somehow I turned on the display paragraph marks, spaces, and other special characters in my outlook 2007 new email messages and I can't find a way to turn it off.
I am looking for the outlook equivalent of the Word 2007 Show/Hide command that is in the paragraph section of the toolbar ribbon, whose icon in the toolbar is a paragraph mark.

If you see strange characters in a received message, click the Encoding button on the ribbon and select a different one, like Unicode (UTF-8). If this makes the text display properly, you may find it best to leave Use default encoding for all incoming messages not selected.
Go to Format Text tab in the new email dialog, and then click on the Show/Hide button in the Paragraph group. See screenshot: 2. After clicking the Show/Hide button, all formatting marks are disappeared from the email body.
Based on my research, the issue about strange characters may be related to your encoding of messages, it's suggested to check your encoding setting and change it to "Unicode(UTF-8)" to test if the issue has any difference(File>Options>Advanced>International options).
None of the other answers worked on my outlook 2010. However, ctrl+shift+8 did the trick.

Found the answer :
Create a new message.
Right click on the tabs line of the menu and
select -> Customize Quick Access Toolbar
select -> Display
Uncheck box -> Show all formatting marks.
