Graphics moved, but can't delete paragraph mark

[beeswing]

I'm using Word 2003 for PC on Windows XP. I've inherited a large
document that I'm trying to reformat. The document has many paragraph
marks (some in the middle of paragraphs) that I am unable to select
and delete. I believe that they are there because a graphic used to be
placed following the paragraph mark, and that graphic has since been
moved or deleted. However, I'm not an expert at graphic placement nor
is there any way to locate which graphic (if any remaining) might be
attached to a particular paragraph mark.

As a workaround, I've had to manually move text to place it before the
nonremovable paragraph mark until the layout is acceptable. I can't
figure out how to simply delete it. There has to be a better way. Does
anyone have some ideas I could try, please?

Thanks.

Are you sure it is a paragraph mark and not a Style Break? Are you able to
email a section of the document to test it?

I've had a similar problem with a problem paragraph mark - relating to a table which floated within the body of the main text(and NB from your point of view I've often seen tables used to position graphics). A solution seemed to be to right click the table place-holder, go to Table properties, Table tab, Positioning, and ensure 'Move with text' is checked. Then my problem paragraph mark became well behaved.
