How to change color of nonprinting characters in word 2008?

Joined: Jun 28, 2008 Posts: 1

I always like to view documents with the nonprinting characters revealed. However, in word 2008, the pilcrow (paragraph mark) is bright blue. I find this VERY distracting, to put it politely! How can I change this to the less intrusive grey that was seen in older versions of word?

Help!

Sorry jacalynsue, that's not an option. My assumption is that the color was
changed in order to provide better contrast, but you aren't the first to
disapprove:-) You might use Help> Send Feedback to make your point.
