You haven't just managed to get just some formatting marks to show on just some sections have you? It's possible in Word to "fine grain" it so that some formatting marks (like paragraph marks) don't show whilst others (like every space marked with a little black dot) do show.
Here's the MS help text about it, from within Word itself, where you will also see some screen pics as well to aid you in working out what they mean. In case it helps guide you to it, I'm pasting the text anyway. I think I'd highlight all the text (ctrl-a) then make sure all marks are hidden, as described below. See if that helps.
Might be something, might be nothing.
