I tried just now and in Microsoft Word, you can go onto the Format menu, then go down to the last item on the menu, Reveal Formatting, or press V for Reveal Formatting. The third checkbox says Show all formatting marks. I confess I was not aware it was possible to turn off formatting marks until you posed the question. I did not change my JAWS settings in any way. I am not sure whether this is possible in other applications or not.
Peace be with you,
