Can anyone tell me how I can remove the anchor point in my text?. Everytime I write  it stays there when I click off of it.

Hi @Veronica29312780elx4, the anchor point in your screen shot only appears in Outline view mode. Try choosing View > Preview menu (ctrl-Y / cmd-Y) to toggle the view mode.

Can you show a screenshot of your entire screen?

I have been doing Adobe Illustrator for years now. But it's this 2023 version that is quite different. I have graded a pattern in Preview Mode, not Outline Mode. Everytime I am in Preview Mode the anchor points remain with my text. When I go into Outline mode they disappear. If I work in Outline Mode they disappear and I can also do my color lines for each size in Outline mode but not Preview. The First Screen shot was done in Preview. The Second was done entirely in Outline Mode.

You are confusing Preview and Outline.

Your Outline mode.jpg shows color. Outline mode never has color.

Can you show a screenshot of your ENTIRE screen?

I am grading a pattern. It shows that I am not in outline mode when I use the text. When I go into outline mode my size grades go away and the anchor point for the text is not there. But when I go out outline mode the text anchor point pops back up under the text.
