I hit some key combination in word 2000, now all the ascii text formatting characters show up.

Anyone remember how to turn this off?
 
Haxx,

Not sure exactly what you mean by the ASCII formatting characters, but think it may be the show/hide formatting codes.
(this is my word 2002, but it may be different in other versions):
You can find a button to do this in the standard toolbar immediately to the left of the zoom percentage, which is towards the right hand side of the toolbar.
It looks like a set of vertical parallel lines with a horizontal line across the top and a solid semicircle on the right hand side of the right vertical line.
