I must have turned on the 'reveal codes' option in Word and now I don't know
how to shut it off. Can anyone help me

If you see field codes such as {EMBED}, {HYPERLINK}, etc., then
press Alt+F9 to turn off display of field codes.
If you see non-printing characters such as paragraph marks, dots
between words, etc., then see

If you're referring to non-printing characters, click on the paragraph symbol
on your toolbar and it will turn them off or go to Tools | Options | View |
Formatting marks and deselect them.

There is no such thing as "Reveal Codes" in Word. There is a Task Pane
option to reveal formatting. Or perhaps, as stated in another reply, that
you mean Show/Hide, represented by the Pilcrow on the Standard Tool Bar.
This only displays non-printing characters used for some formatting tasks.

"Reveal Codes" is in WordPerfect, and is something Word should have. With
it, it is easy to control formatting and saves a huge amount of time and
effort.

Given that Word does not use 'codes' to format the document, but is style
based, revealing non-existent 'codes' might be difficult to achieve!
