I don't know what you mean by "the show/hide command". This is a
preference, and you can set it in the View preference pane.

However, I strongly recommend that you change your tastes. The paragraph
mark in Word is crucial (it contains the styling information for the
paragraph, for example), so you can't edit effectively if you can't see
it. m.
