I’m pretty sure the answer to this is no, and I might have even asked this somewhere previously but…

Is there anyway at all to get more fine control over “show all”/ctrl-*/non-printing-characters/¶?

Specifically, it’s my dream to show page-breaks and column breaks but *not* to show spaces between each word. This would just be a nice always-on option to have transparent access to formatting. As it is, the space dots make text difficult to read.

I’m open to VBA and outside of the box solutions. Maybe I could even edit my font to eliminate whatever symbol the space is using?
