They aren't full stops, they're the nonprinting representation of the space
character. They appear because you clicked the ¶ button on the toolbar.
Click it again to turn them off.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm for why you might
want to see them and the other nonprinting characters, at least some of the
time.
