Hello,
I have a huge problem: I wanted to insert a quote in Word, I clicked on "mark all", and now little bullets are appearing everywhere, where I pressed enter to skip a line. Every time I pressed enter, a bullet appears. I can also see little dots marking the spaces. Please help me... My thesis is ruined.

Hello,
Word generates not a bullet but a field associated with a paragraph mark for each citation, whereas if you choose to display characters, spaces appear as so many dots.
None of this is printable.
If you want to see your work without these marks, File-Options-Display, uncheck the items in "Always show...".

Hello,
You talk about inserting a "citation"... In principle, it's not a citation but rather an index entry. Because the "mark all" command only works with index entries and not with citations.
Furthermore, it has nothing to do with bullets. However, inserting index entries that are in hidden characters automatically displays the formatting marks (just to see these index entries).
If all your paragraphs have that black square which means "Linked Paragraphs" or "Linked Lines", that's a bit annoying. Check your Normal style and uncheck those two options. Keep them only for titles, and when it's absolutely necessary.
And indeed, it's not printable, and Ctrl+Shift+8 makes all of that disappear, including the index entries.
