Somehow, I inadvertantly iinserted the parapgraph symbol into my Word
documents. Whenever I create a new doc, the symbol appears throughout at the
beginning and ends of paraprahps while I'm typing. When I print my document,
the symbols don't appear. But it is very annoying to have the symbols on
screen. I can't fiind a way to remove them. Help! Please!

Thanks. That pilcrow wasn't on my tool bar, but it was simple to add it and
then delete it from my doc. I feel kinda stupid! Thanks for the help.

It's called a pilcrow. Hit the button with that symbol on your tool bar one
time.

The Show/Hide ¶ button is on the Standard toolbar by default. If you are not
seeing it, it's because you've got adaptive menus enabled and/or Standard
and Formatting toolbars on one row. You can change both these settings on
the Options tab of Tools | Customize.

For some reasons why you might want to see nonprinting characters
(formatting marks), see
