Little Square outside left margin

[Frank Callan]

Sometime when working on a big document with many different styles a little
square will appear to the left of the left margin. Any idea what causes this
little square to appear?

 

[Lene Fredborg]

The small square appears on a paragraph that has one or more of the following
settings in Tools > Paragraph > Line and Page Breaks tab turned _on_:

Keep with next
Keep lines together
Page break before
Suppress line numbers

Also, if you double-click on the "bullet," Word will open the Paragraph
dialog with the Page and Line Breaks tab displayed.
