It's hard for us to remember all the settings in Word application, such the formatting marks settings and the show document content settings. We may need to show / hide or toggle the formatting marks on and off now and then, such as to show or hide paragraph marks, to toggle the hidden data or text on and off. Since all these settings are locating in separately in Word, it's not easy for us to remember and apply them when we need to. But with Kutools for Word's Display Settings utility, you can quickly apply following settings from one place in Word.
