Formatting Characters

I some how hit some magicall key combination which turned on some annoying
formatting in the IDE and I'm not sure how to turn it off. Everywhere there
is a space character in the text editor, a dot shows up (a period only in
the middle instead of at the bottom). Everywhere there is a tab character
in the text editor, a right arrow shows up. Does anyone know how to turn
this functionality off? I have tried looking for something which makes
sense in Tools->Options but didn't see anything. I also tried to change
colors but this didn't seem to help either.

TIA

Thank you both so very much, that was the problem. It was starting to get
very annoying
