Documents cannot be formatted and worked on without these characters visible. Please provide the button to show these marks.

This is a requirement to making a professional document. Please add it to the online version of Word.

How are you supposed to format something if you can't see the format marks? Please add it!

Oh. My. Gosh. Why in the world would this even be a thing for which we need to ask? Yes, add the button! I use it for EVERY document I create. I will not be using this product until this update is added.

Editing a document is very difficult without the "Show non-printing characters" function.
Please add this option!

I work for a post-secondary educational institution, we have on-ground and online students. We understand the value of Microsoft Office skills to our students. Many students have chrome laptops and cannot complete assignments using the online version. Please consider adding this feature to the online version

There should be no difference between the online version of Microsoft suit and the offline version, especially when both are being payed for. The online is lacking for no reason... This is a part of it as well as not being able to save in certain file types for certain apps. I'm sure those are note the only two differences either.

The pilcrow is a very necessary symbol for designers...
please add it to the upgrade; we’re desperate.
WE NEED IT. -

This is super necessary now that there are so many collaborative documents we work with and every one has their own idea about how formatting works. I have spent way too much time now trying to figure out why this particular document has mysterious spaces as line holders (instead of, I dunno, a return?)... Would have been a snap if I could actually see the non-printed formatting characters.

This function I use constantly, especially in cleaning documents made by others. PLEASE reinstate it in Office 365 Word

please add it. it's impossible to create quality work (or fix other people's work) with a high level of detail if this feature isn't available.

Please, please reinstate this feature. Seriously, you can't turn out quality work (or fix everyone else's mess) without it.

This is a really easy fix. I can't believe this feature does not exist.

I've moved from Office 2008 for Mac, and find I really miss the non-printing character function.

It's very difficult to produce documents to the required standard for business purposes without this.
