Moderated How to turn off JAWS speaking "space marker" while arrowing through a Word document?

Greg Daniel
Hi everyone,
I am using Windows 10, the current release of JAWS and MS Office 2013. I am arrowing through a Word document and at the beginning of lines, JAWS is saying “space marker”; I know that there is a command to turn this off, but cannot find it. Any help would be gratefully appreciated, and thank you.

Bill,
Thank you so much for your detailed answer to my question. Prior to asking the question, I did my best to search for the answer, but as is true in most such cases, I found answers to all questions except the one for which I was searching.
